Walt Kelly coverSomething completely unique! Animal Comics #8 maufacturred with 3rd, 4th, 9th & 10th wraps from "Nuestro Futuro – ¿Hombres Libres, O Esclavos?" (World War II anti-Nazi propoganda comic published in spanish). A little history about "Nuestro Futuro" below-
Nuestro Futuro – ¿Hombres Libres, O Esclavos? which was published in 1942 or 1943, and created by the American Jewish Committee in conjunction with Nelson Rockefeller from the Office of Inter-American Affairs. Rockefeller recruited AJC’s Richard C. Rothschild as a propaganda director, to promote U.S. aims in the war to America’s neighbours South of the Rio Grande.
The comic book, aimed at the Mexican people showed its readers the threat of Nazism on democratic labor relations, republican democratic government, and religious freedom.
Mexican readership was expected to develop a negative perception of the Nazis by associating Nazi power with the enslavement of the workers. At the same time, since Mexico and the United States shared a history of republicanism and democracy it was expected that the comic book’s readers would compare themselves and Mexico to the democratic United Sates and so support the US in the war..
