Four-Color Communism

Comic Books and Contested Power in the German Democratic Republic

Beschreibung

As with all other forms of popular culture, comics in East Germany were tightly controlled by the state. Comics were employed as extensions of the regimeâ s educational system, delivering state ideology to develop the socialist personality among youth. The East German children who avidly read these comics, however, found their own meanings and projected their own desires in them.
