Summary[edit]

Description
English: Mock up cover of a 1940s superhero comic. Images such as this were a cheap and effective form of propaganda during World War Two, depicting American forces triumphing over stock Nazi villains. Visual elements include patriotically themed characters, a swaztiker hanging in tatters and an exaggerated caricature of the Führer. In the sidebar, readers are exhorted to buy war bonds and reminded that "loose lips sink ships". Educational purpose: to illustrate terms such as propaganda, superhero, comic book, etc. Artwork by Simon Kirby, released under cc-by-sa 2.0. Author agrees that Commons is not censored and that international wikimedia projects have the right to use this image.
