Kids grew up in the shadow of bomb shelters and were treated to daily lessons at school on what to do in the event of a nuclear attack.  Americans were besieged by constant reminders to police our borders, to carefully watch out for “foreigners” who might be spies, and to be ever vigilant in preparing to combat the “red” menace of communism.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e Comic books of this era played on these fears with stories of atomic war and world war III.  This new historic reprint looks back at those good ole days, which can be viewed in the perspective of today’s political climate.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eThis volume reprints the complete runs of \u003ci\u003eAtomic War!\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eWorld War III\u003c\/i\u003e and can be read merely as great action\/adventure stories, classic “war” comics or as an eerie, unanticipated commentary on today’s tribulations.  SPECIAL NOTE: if these extremely rare books were purchased at your local comic shop they would cost well over $1000 in low grade condition!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cem\u003eWith special introduction by Arne Flaten of Purdue University.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eISBN:\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e978-1613451632\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-list-item\"\u003eProduct photos are taken in our in-house library.
