Some of the best historical collections of comics right now are coming from Yoe Books/IDW. Craig Yoe is bringing a really thorough, but creative, eye to these collections, and “The Unknown Anti-War Comics!” is no exception. This collection reprints long out of print stories that dared to be blatantly anti-war at a time when that was not a popular position to be taking, especially in comics. We are thrilled to share an exclusive preview of this title, which is available in stores this month.

Edited by Craig YoeAn action-oriented medium, comics have long used wars—real and fictional—as narrative fodder. Now, discover the secret, surprising history of anti-war comics with this marvelously curated collection.
A few comics of the time portrayed the horrors of war, but no blatantly anti-war stories were known to exist—until now! Buried in rare comics published during the Cold War were powerful war, fantasy, and sci-fi stories that strongly condemned war and the bomb, boldly calling for peace.
Thanks to IDW for the preview, and make sure to pick up the book, which will make a fine addition to any comic fan’s shelf.
