Looking at the art that was influenced by what the soldiers saw as well as what artists read and in the news. This exhibit includes comics and illustrations from the likes of Dr. Suess, Bill Mauldin, and Dave Breger and their influence on the overall perception of politics, the \"average Joe\" infantry, and the Allied and Axis powers.<\/p>\n
Of course, not all illustrations were made for adults at home in the Sunday paper and the infantry on the battlefield. Comic books were in the hands of almost every child during that era, and with comics such as Superman and Captain America, the American experience of World War II was felt by every American.<\/p>","credits":"Curated by Chris Quinn for the class The American Experience in World War II, Fall 2016","featured":0,"public":1,"theme":"minimalist","theme_options":"a:1:{s:10:\"minimalist\";a:6:{s:11:\"footer_text\";s:1896:\"
