19 Is someone paying US comic industry to kill itself? (boundingintocomics.com) posted 1 year ago by penisse 1 year ago by penisse +19 / -0 17 comments share 17 comments share save hide report block hide replies
Comics were traditionally used for propagandistic purposes. "Fight the Nazis! Care about this social issue!".
Thing is, they were tactile and could be produced and propagated without the need of a screen.
Physical media can make it's way into warzones.
Heroes can inspire even when under tyrannical rule.
Now they use them for a new kind of propaganda, but in imploding the comics industry they ensure that nobody else will be able to use them.
