Summary

War Comics Impact explores the significant role comic books have played in shaping perceptions of warfare and military history. From World War II's patriotic narratives to the Vietnam War's more critical perspectives, these visual narratives reflect and influence societal views on conflict, heroism, and sacrifice.

 
Intriguingly, comics served as a powerful propaganda tool, promoting national unity during times of war, while also documenting military events and offering personal expressions on the moral complexities of armed conflict. The book examines how comic book propaganda and visual narratives construct broader cultural narratives and how the comics industry itself evolved alongside changing social attitudes.

 
Examining both real-world military events and fictional narratives, it analyzes Golden Age comics and post-war depictions of war, exploring issues such as trauma and moral ambiguity. By delving into the visual language of comics, the role of artists, and diverse genres, the book paints a comprehensive picture of this cultural artifact.

 
Structured to provide a comprehensive overview, the book starts by introducing key concepts and historiography, then progresses through dedicated chapters analyzing specific eras and themes. The final section discusses the lasting legacy of war comics and their ongoing relevance in contemporary society, making it a valuable resource for enthusiasts of military history, art, and comic books.
Available since: 03/10/2025.

    The fascinating story of the evolution of the country house in Britain, from its Roman precursors to the present 
 
 
 
The Story of the Country House is an authoritative and vivid account of the British country house, exploring how they have evolved with the changing political and economic landscape. Clive Aslet reveals the captivating stories behind individual houses, their architects, and occupants, and paints a vivid picture of the wider context in which the country house in Britain flourished and subsequently fell into decline before enjoying a renaissance in the twenty-first century. The genesis, style, and purpose of architectural masterpieces such as Hardwick Hall, Hatfield House, and Chatsworth are explored, alongside the numerous country houses lost to war and economic decline. We also meet a cavalcade of characters, owners with all their dynastic obsessions and diverse sources of wealth, and architects such as Inigo Jones, Sir John Vanbrugh, Robert Adam, Sir John Soane and A. W. N. Pugin, who dazzled or in some cases outraged their contemporaries. The Story of the Country House takes a fresh look at this enduringly popular building type, exploring why it continues to hold such fascination for us today.

    In 1973, early in their careers, Martin Scorsese and Robert De Niro collaborated for the first time. Over the next few decades, they worked together on seven more movies, many of which brought them both acclaim and awards. And while successful director and actor pairings have occurred throughout the history of film, few have fashioned so many works of enduring value as these two artists. In little more than two decades, Scorsese and De Niro produced eight features, including the classics Taxi Driver, Raging Bull, and GoodFellas.  In The Films of Martin Scorsese and Robert De Niro, Andrew J. Rausch examines the creative output of this remarkable pair, from their initial offering, Mean Streets, to their most recent film together, Casino. Rausch looks at their relationship as individual artists who worked together to create cinematic magic, as well as the friendship that was forged nearly 40 years ago. Drawing upon interviews and other sources, Rausch goes behind the scenes of their eight films, providing insi
