War Bears by Margaret Atwood
4.0
Who knew there was such a thing as a WWII wartime history of Canadian comics. Certainly not me.
It's an original story-line, about a Canadian illustrator, during wartime, writing a black and white jingoistic comic. Even he is horrified by the atomic bomb unleashed on Japan and the last edition comes with a cautionary end-note before he embarks on peacetime advertising spreads. Only to be recognised with an award in our cosplay era.
Clearly has a modern take on things but seems well researched and well illustrated.
Certainly a better tale than Vol 1 of Angel Catbird.
