This anthology hosts a collection of essays examining the role of
comics as portals for historical and academic content, while
keeping the approach on an international market verses the American
one. Few resources currently exist showing the cross-disciplinary
aspects of comics. Some of the chapters examine the use of Wonder
Woman during World War II, the development and culture of French
comics, and theories of Locke and Hobbs in regards to the state of
nature and the bonds of community. More so, the continual use of
comics for the retelling of classic tales and current events
demonstrates that the genre has long passed the phase of for
children's eyes only. Additionally, this anthology also weaves
graphic novels into the dialogue with comics.

America’s Changing Icons is a discursive examination of the
female patriotic icon in the United States. This creative and
entertaining work examines her use and decline, particularly in the
20th century, with a particular focus on popular culture icons like
Lady Columbia, Rosie the Riveter, and Wonder Woman. These fictional
creations, used with advertisements; letters; and literature of the
eras work together to craft a multi-layered and dynamic portrait of
cultural politics, tides, and perceptions about American women,
life, and place.
