Abstract

The purpose of this work is to analyze the narratives that the Brazilian comics established for the Brazilian participation in the Second World War. Between the decades of 1950 and 1970 comic books on this theme were published and they had larger circulation and more readers than the publishing output on the subject, representing one of the few opportunities of contact that the young public had, outside the school environment, about the war time as well as about the Brazilian participation in this conflict.
