About this product
Product Information
Superman, Donald Duck, Mickey Mouse and others helped fight World War II via comic books and strips, single-panel and editorial cartoons, and even ads. Cartoons for Victory showcases wartime work by cartoonists such as Charles Addams (The Addams Family), Harold Gray (Little Orphan Annie), Harvey Kurtzman (Mad magazine), Will Eisner, and many others. Most of the cartoons and comics in this book have not been seen since their first publication. Editor Bernard gathered them over years of unstinting research through private collections and the obscure holdings of public sources. This is the most comprehensive collection ever assembled of World War II'e"era cartoons, reflecting the indefatigable spirit of the time.

Reviews
This delicious retrospective of U.S. cartoonists' response to WWII is agitprop at its best. The book goes well beyond reprinting the familiar editorial cartoons and looks instead at how some of the best magazine illustrators and comic strip artists of the day joined the cause in recruitment, war support, bond drives, etc., Warren Bernard's gorgeous new collection of rare drawings from the war years, Cartoons for Victory, ...features single-panel editorial cartoons as well as comic strips and advertisements, boasting a high percentage of previously unseen material. ... The shock of witnessing characters like Batman and Donald Duck talking about the 20th century's largest war is akin to discovering a photo of your grandmother in an embarrassing outfit, taken decades before you were born., During WWII, the U.S. was united as never before or since, with the entire civilian populace pitching in tosupport the war effort. That included the nation's cartoon characters, who were enlisted in propagandaefforts designed to motivate the home front. ... An enlightening, entertaining glimpse at a less-remembered aspect of that much-documented era., What could have been an ordinary collection of World War II-era political cartoons is instead a fascinating history lesson that breaks through boundaries between media. ... The result is an overview of news, politics and daily life in wartime America that is more informative than the history books that expressly explore that material. ... Cartoons for Victory was such a delight that the only way to make it better would be to make it longer., Cartoons for Victory is a moving, time-transporting way to salute the troops past and present ... Bernard mines the times for an embarrassment of visual riches. ... From beginning to endpapers, this is a tour of art and duty well worth serving.
