- Hi there! I'm so glad you could make it! I've just been reading some news articles while I waited for you to arrive.
- I just finished reading about a ton of books, mostly graphic novels, that are being banned from schools, mostly due to political and social commentary within them.
- I have to say I'm pretty surprised (and disappointed) by this. Graphic novels and political commentary have a long history of connections with one another.
- Many of our most beloved comic book characters have deep ties to political and social commentary.
- One of the most famous comic book characters of all, Captain America, was born as a work of American political propaganda.
- Captain America stood as a symbol of America - powerful, strong, and ready to fight his country's enemies.
- In his debut issue, he is depicted on the cover punching Hitler in the face.
- Cap was created by Marvel to be the hero fighting against Red Skull, a Nazi villain attempting to take down the United States from within.
- His stories were meant to inspire support for the war and troops, but his character's political efforts went beyond the comics..
- At home, while readers enjoyed the comics, posters of Cap were used to inspire support for military efforts, like victory gardens and war bonds.
- Comics were sent oversees to boost soldier morale and glorify their efforts.
