Free Download Into the Jungle!: A Boy’s Comic Strip History of World War II (Cultures of Childhood) by Jimmy Kugler, Michael Kugler
English | January 27, 2023 | ISBN: 1496842820 | 250 pages | EPUB | 63 Mb
Near the end of World War II and after, a small-town Nebraska youth, Jimmy Kugler, drew more than a hundred double-sided sheets of comic strip stories. Over half of these six-panel tales retold the Pacific War as fought by "Frogs" and "Toads," humanoid creatures brutally committed to a kill-or-be-killed struggle. The history of American youth depends primarily on adult reminiscences of their own childhoods, adult testimony to the lives of youth around them, or surmises based on at best a few creative artifacts. The survival then of such a large collection of adolescent comic strips from America’s small-town Midwest is remarkable.

Free Download Gaby Pailer, Andreas Bohn, Stefan Horlacher, "Gender and Laughter: Comic Affirmation and Subversion in Traditional and Modern Media"
English | 2009 | pages: 393 | ISBN: 9042026723 | PDF | 2,6 mb
This essay collection is dedicated to intersections between gender theories and theories of laughter, humour, and comedy. It is based on the results of a three-year research programme, entitled "Gender – Laughter – Media" (2003-2006) and includes a series of investigations on traditional and modern media in western cultures from the 18th to the 20th century. A theoretical opening part is followed by four thematic sections that explore the multiple forms of irritating stereotypical gender perceptions; aspects of (post-)colonialism and multiculturalism; the comic impact of literary and media genres in different national cultures; as well as the different comic strategies in fictional, philosophical, artistic or real life communication. The volume presents a variety of new approaches to the overlaps between gender and laughter that have only barely been considered in groundbreaking research. It forms a valuable read for scholars of literary, theatre, media, and cultural studies, at the same time reaching out to a general readership.

Free Download Leonard Rifas, "Korean War Comic Books"
English | ISBN: 0786443960 | 2021 | 345 pages | EPUB | 9 MB
Comic books have presented fictional and fact-based stories of the Korean War, as it was being fought and afterward. 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.
