In the grim hours of World War II, comic books often provided welcome relief for Americans. And, subtly, comics reinforced support for the Allied struggle.

Historian James Kimble discusses this “Comic Books & Propaganda on the U.S. Home Front” at the Lacey branch of the Ocean County Library on Thursday, Nov 7 at 3:30 p.m.

Kimble’s program will cover the history of comic strips and books, and their roles in domestic propaganda.
