Polski komiks wojenny z czasów PRL-u

Polish comic books from the Polish People’s Republic period After years of fighting with comics book the authorities of the Polish People’s Repulic started using it for its own objectives. Propaganda was the basic target of the comic book narration and interference in history was the main element of it. In my publication I will present images of war created by authorities in the main comic books from the Polish People’s Republic period. Propaganda used by authorities helped to show friendship between Poland and Soviet Union. What is more, using comic books in a political game allowed to create a demonic image of the so-called enemies; Germany especially, but also everything what was connected to the west politics and culture was considered hostile. Comic books became a great tool in governments’ hands for propaganda objectives. Simpifications and contrasts which are used in comics were a great way of ideological speech. Key words: comic book; war; propaganda
