Babes in Arms: Women in Comics During 2nd World War
by Hermes Press
304 pages; hardcover; full color
During the Golden Age of comics publishers offered titles supporting the war effort presenting fighting men and their feminine counterparts, babes in arms! Comic books during this period featured US service-women fighting the Axis and gave noteworthy women artists of the era opportunities to create action-packed, adventure filled four color stories. Now, for the first time, renowned pop-culture historian Trina Robbins assembles comic book stories by artists Barbara Hall, Jill Elgin, Lilly Renee, and Fran Hopper together with insightful commentary and loads of documentary extras to create the definitive book chronicling the work of these important Golden Age artists. This magnificent art book offers page after page of good girl action!
