About the book
Civilian and military comic strips, single cartoons, editorial cartoons for newspapers and even advertising cartoons - all offered trenchant observations and wry advice on how to live in wartime. They were by turns funny, sarcastic and sobering. Cartoons For Victory showcases wartime work by cartoonists including Milton Caniff, Chester Gould, Al Capp, Harold Gray, Charles Addams, Herblock, Peter Arno, Will Eisner, Harvey Kurtzman and many others. See how Superman, Donald Duck, Mickey Mouse and other comic characters showed Americans how to cope in the war years.
