What do the changes in representation of masculinity tell us about our feelings towards war? And who is Sergeant Rock? In this episode, we thumb the pages of some well-worn and traded comics, revealing the changing attitudes towards war and American patriotism, showing just how political comics can be. So, pop on your bat phones and marvel at PhDc Richard Young's encyclopaedic knowledge of comic culture.
