Free Comics : The Giveaways That Fought Commies, Sold Cars and Cigars, Showed How to Buy A TV And Avoid VD!
Bok av Craig Yoe
At last, the story of these promotional comics is told! Besides teaching the public to love corn and hate commies, these lost treasures sold cars and hot dogs, elected and defeated politicians, saved souls, taught people how to milk cows and repair tractors, and told us how to buy a TV and avoid VD. There were thousands of unknown giveaway comics featuring top creators. In this first-of-a-kind book, you'll see Jack Kirby, Charles Schulz, Will Eisner, Wally Wood, Stan Lee, Reed Crandall, Bill Everett, Dan DeCarlo, Harvey Kurtzman, Joe Kubert, and multitudes more! You'll see familiar characters like Batman, Charlie Brown, Flash Gordon, Dennis the Menace, and Spider-Man! But your jaw will drop at animated spokestoons: weiners, shoes, cigars, transistors, milking machines, cows, condoms, and the NRA's half puppy/half gun, Blooie!
