The most interesting fact for me was that comics took the issues of World War II and applied them to their plotlines. This obviously shows how comic books have played a role in society. Throughout the time that WWII happened, creators used their characters as ways of persuading their young audience to help with the war. Such as Batman and Robin asking kids to purchase war bonds or Captain America collecting needed supplies for the soldiers. Jack Kirby and Joe Simon created Captain America solely for one purpose: to fight Nazi oppression through comics. This was genius because that’s exactly what the war was over. It appealed to kids and anyone really, even soldiers were sent 35,000 copies. This fact shows how comics have effected our society.
