Mock up cover of a 1940s superhero comic, drawn in the style of Jack Kirby: Major Triumph and Victory Girl storm Adolf Hitler's bunker. Images such as this were an effective form of propaganda during World War Two, depicting America forces triumphing over stock Nazi villains. Victorious heroes advance fearlessly into battle while the blood-red swastika hangs in tattered disarray behind them; a heavily caricatured Führer lies unconscious at their feet, crushed by the champions of freedom and democracy.
