Description:
New Left Comics examines the leftist radicalization in Sweden during the decade immediately succeeding 1968 through the lens of comic books. It uncovers the ways in which writers and artists used mainstream comics as a medium to teach and inform readers about various forms of injustices and inequality.
Review Quotes:
'Robert Aman's eye-opening monograph New Left Comics documents a peculiar chapter of Sweden's 1970s cultural history--best-selling left-wing comics series whose mass appeal was rooted in the country's post-1968 ideological mainstreaming of social justice and Third-Worldism.'
