It was also a time of social upheaval with women on the assembly line and in the armed forces and African-Americans serving and working in a Jim Crow war effort. See how Superman, Donald Duck, Mickey Mouse and others helped fight World War II via comic books and strips, single-panel and editorial cartoons, and even ads. \u003ci\u003eCartoons for Victory\u003c\/i\u003e showcases wartime work by cartoonists such as Charles Addams (\u003ci\u003eThe Addams Family\u003c\/i\u003e), Harold Gray (\u003ci\u003eLittle Orphan Annie\u003c\/i\u003e), Harvey Kurtzman (\u003ci\u003eMad\u003c\/i\u003e magazine), Will Eisner, as well as many other known cartoonists. Over 90% of the cartoons and comics in this book have not been seen since their first publication. Editor Bernard gathered them over years of unstinting research through private collections and the obscure holdings of public sources. This is the most comprehensive collection ever assembled of World War II–era cartoons, reflecting the indefatigable spirit of the Home Front in America.\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n                        \u003ch3\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n                        \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eWarren Bernard\u003c\/b\u003e is Executive Director of the Small Press Expo (SPX) independent sequential art festival, and is a comics-focused writer and historian.
