As with all other forms of popular culture, comics in East Germany
were tightly controlled by the state. Comics were employed as
extensions of the regime's educational system, delivering official
ideology so as to develop the "socialist personality" of young
people and generate enthusiasm for state socialism. The East German
children who avidly read these comics, however, found their own
meanings in and projected their own desires upon them. Four-Color
Communism gives a lively account of East German comics from both
perspectives, showing how the perceived freedoms they embodied
created expectations that ultimately limited the regime's efforts
to bring readers into the fold.
