COMICS CAN BE AWESOME (12 December 2022)

This has been a year marked by war. I know, I know, aren’t they all? Sure, but the stakes feel more global than they had felt in a while – and, yes, this conflict’s impact hits closer to (my) home.

So, as I often do, I turn to old pieces of pop culture, both appreciating how they visualized military conflict and trying to rationalize their political implications. Above all, I’ve been kind of fascinated by the 1960s’ Polish TV series Four Tankmen and a Dog… Yet, as usual, I’ve been binging American comics as well.
