Welcome to Litsy!

54/150 I've always been a big comic book fan, from my first Superman comic when I was 6 years old until now some 54 years later. If you're interested in comics, especially American one, then you'll find this very informative and detailed. I like that the author doesn't just cover DC and Marvel, but he gives equal attention to independent comics, underground comics, newspaper & magazine comic strips, manga, and the new development

Overall interesting read about the use of comics by the US government for recrutement, for prevention, for education, etc.
This book includes extracts with notes to put them back into their context.

Did you know Dr Seuss worked for the military? In this extract, his style is very recognizable... These drawings were to inform soldiers about malaria, and how to protect themselves.
So far quite an interesting book overall about the use of comics by the US government.

3.5 ⭐ It starts out with a letter of intro from a LGBTQ historian. The graphic novel is a group of three modern kids helping their abuela move and they find a picture of her with another woman. Abuela she starts telling them what it used to be like before being bisexual was considered okay. She not only tells them about it she decides to show them and somehow magically transfers them back to 1969. Overall this book was a successful introduction

Watched 5 movies over the last two days, including the new Wonder Woman movie which even has a Christmas scene! I‘m not quite ready to let the holiday season go by but I‘ve definitely absorbed all the season has to offer! +26 points for #merryreaders #wintergames2020

This is a good, quick, overview of women in comics. If you want something in depth, this isn‘t it, but it‘s a good place to start. Tons of insight from one of comics‘ pioneering females. I used this as one of my sources for my paper for Adolescent Lit: “It‘s A Bird, It‘s A Plane, It‘s A...Woman!?” It was about the changing portrayals of women in comics, specifically superheroes.

The only non-fiction book that is really on my list. I really want to read this. It's meant for adults but I think it could do really well in YA collections.

Out Sept 15
