COMIC BOOK COMPULSIVE — How Boys and Girls Can Help Win The War
In 1942 the publisher Parents Magazine Press (the people behind such “wholesome” titles as Calling All Boys and Calling All Girls produced this 54 page one-shot that tried to channel the energy of America’s youth into fighting the War. More artifact than an actual comic (neither I or the Grand Comic Book Database have any idea who wrote or drew it), and while it’s strictly propaganda it does have it’s clever moments, such as this panel’s use of a thought balloon to illustrate the concept of freedom of thought.
