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.
