Comparing these comics with events that inspired them offers a deeper understanding of the comics industry, America's "forgotten war," and the anti-comics movement, championed by psychiatrist Fredric Wertham, who criticized their brutalization of the imagination. Comics-both newsstand offerings and government propaganda-used fictions to justify the unpopular war as necessary and moral. This book examines the dramatization of events and issues, including the war's origins, germ warfare, brainwashing, Cold War espionage, the nuclear threat, African Americans in the military, mistreatment of POWs, and atrocities."-- $c Provided by publisher. 504 $a Includes bibliographical references (pages 277-316) and index. 505 0 $a Part I: Comic books and the Korean War -- Introduction -- Realism, harm, and responsibility -- The business -- Strips -- World War II comic books -- Harvey Kurtzman -- Critics -- Part II: The Korean War in comic books -- Origins of the Korean War -- Spies -- African Americans -- Germs -- Brainwashing -- POW! -- Griping against the war -- Atrocities -- Politics -- The bomb -- Subversive comics -- The Korean War in comics since 1953 -- Conclusion. 648 7 $a 1900-1999 $2 fast 650 0 $a Comic books, strips, etc. $z United States $x History $y 20th century. 650 0 $a Korean War, 1950-1953 $x Comics and the war. 650 0 $a Censorship $z United States $x History $y 20th century. 650 0 $a War in comics. 650 7 $a Censorship. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00850568 650 7 $a Comic books, strips, etc. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00869145 650 7 $a War and literature. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01170442 650 7 $a War in literature. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01170505 651 7 $a United States. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01204155 655 7 $a Comics criticism. $2 lcgft 655 7 $a History. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01411628 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20231117023915.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=9588BDA6851711EEB4A9908744ECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
