EBE Posted June 3, 2017 Share Posted June 3, 2017 AJD had a thread where the focus was on War Bonds and Stamp covers. I'd post a link, but can't get any results out of the search engine. --ElJay Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

walclark Posted June 3, 2017 Share Posted June 3, 2017 Let's see those WWII Japanese Covers I couldn't find two threads that I had bookmarked on the old boards... the previously mentioned war bonds thread titled War Stamps/Bonds/Loans - let's see 'em and What Hitler and Axis Cover Comics Do You Have? Maybe they didn't migrate over with the new board. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, I often find Googledoes a better job than the board's internal search engine, even though I think the search engine works better on the new boards than it did on the old boards.

gino2paulus2 Posted June 3, 2017 Share Posted June 3, 2017 Great idea Claudio ? Here is one i started that rendered a few neat books Knightsofold 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vaillant Posted June 3, 2017 Author Share Posted June 3, 2017 (edited) Updated! Thanks Gino! I can’t wait to start threads with european books, but I have to scan them and no time right now! I have a few fine examples of what is as close as possible to nazist propaganda comics (although Germany did not produce actual ones). And then Italy, with its unhortodox material, very realistic and related to war events. The spanish civil war gave birth to a few comics journals, nationalsocialist and communist, some rare. Japan is more difficult to search, as their modern comics production started after the war. And then all the other european countries I have yet to explore. It’s very exciting… Edited June 3, 2017 by vaillant typo gino2paulus2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gino2paulus2 Posted June 7, 2017 Share Posted June 7, 2017 I think we should Sticky this thread!! The others would get bumped respectively but as we added to this at least we wouldn't lose any of the threads. Just my humble opinion. As long as we keep the links in Claudio's first post because if we have to start digging through this one to find others it kind of defeats the purpose.

Knightsofold Posted June 7, 2017 Share Posted June 7, 2017 Great idea! So much to learn and talk about with this subject. I was explaining to someone how Bill Everett created and drew Namor and then went off to war and came back to Namor again after. He thought that was pretty wild. When I told him Kirby did the same and he thought about how easily all the 1960's characters he created might have been lost to his death he was floored. Is there a thread on comic creators who served in WW2? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
