Cartoons for Victory is a moving, time-transporting way to salute
the troops past and present ... Bernard mines the times for an
embarrassment of visual riches. ... From beginning to endpapers,
this is a tour of art and duty well worth serving.--Michael Cavna
"The Washington Post"
Warren Bernard's gorgeous new collection of rare drawings from the
war years, Cartoons for Victory, ...features single-panel editorial
cartoons as well as comic strips and advertisements, boasting a
high percentage of previously unseen material. ... The shock of
witnessing characters like Batman and Donald Duck talking about the
20th century's largest war is akin to discovering a photo of your
grandmother in an embarrassing outfit, taken decades before you
were born.--Abraham Riesman "Vulture"
What could have been an ordinary collection of World War II-era
political cartoons is instead a fascinating history lesson that
breaks through boundaries between media. ... The result is an
overview of news, politics and daily life in wartime America that
is more informative than the history books that expressly explore
that material. ... Cartoons for Victory was such a delight that the
only way to make it better would be to make it longer.--Andrew A.
Smith "Tribune News Service"
