World War 2 Comic Books???

(First and fore msot i posted this topic in this forum because since comic books are technicaly books i decided this was the apporite place.

Secondly i searched the forums and found no threads what so ever with the thread i am prosenting)

I was watching the history Channel today. It had a documentry on the history of comic books. Now i watched it. They had super heros fighting nazis and japense soldiers. Plus propragnda agisnt them. It also had the super heros advertising war bonds, funding, etc. It sayed that comic books got alot of money donated to the armed forces. Also comic books were sent over to the GIs Serving in the war. It keep them entetained and showed the countrys was backing them. Did anyone else know about this. I found this really interesting.

 

"During the late 1930s and early 1940s, comic books were very anti-Nazi and anti-Japanese, even before America began fighting in that war. Superman was so anti-Nazi that Joseph Goebels said that Superman was Jewish. Captain America was depicted to beat Hitler up. Other comic books predicted a Japanese attack on American ships in American ports before the attack on Pearl Harbor occurred. For these reasons, comic books became included in the care packages that were sent to American soldiers stationed abroad during World War II.
During the war years, these superheroes requested that their readers recycle paper (and other materials) for the war effort and buy War Bonds. Inadvertently, the calls to conserve paper reduced the supply of comic books during these years. This created a scarcity of comic books during World War II, which later caused their prices to soar as they were increasingly sought out by collectors."

Some american soldiers would get them cause some of the comic books had mild sexual\fetish/bdsm scenes also. Not calling them perverts but lets face it they were still kids. What kid hasent looked at things like that.

Well, the ones I read did not but perhaps I was too young to take notice then. Any particular examples you can post?

 

Ah, the wonder of youth. When the samples are posted, Za will finally realize what he missed out on.
