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.
Sixteenth century Europe in the forests and mountains surrounding
Bedburg, Germany. Between what he is and what he will become, in a
place known as the Unmasking, Stubbe witnesses an event that will
question not only his beliefs, but his identity. Baffin Island,
modern day. At the hands of men, Samoth witnesses the death of his
Alpha, leading him across the tundra on a journey of revenge away
from all he holds dear. They are Pack, creatures of human myth and
superstition, hidden from human eyes. Under the watch and guidance
of Labourant, the First Wolf and Man of the Forest, the master and
servant of all He has created, their journies will end and there
they will face the sins they committed and suffered and the
monsters they have become. Twined in past and present, their
destinies meet in that place without time, between what is and what
is yet to be: the Unmasking.
