  • Chapter 3 Heroines in a Time of War: Nelvana of the Northern Lights And
    Chapter 3 Heroines in a Time of War: Nelvana of the Northern Lights and Wonder Woman as Symbols of the United States and Canada Scores of superheroes emerged in comic books just in time to defend the United States and Canada from the evil machinations of super-villains, Hitler, Mussolini, and other World War II era enemies. By 1941, War Nurse Pat Parker, Miss America, Pat Patriot, and Miss Victory were but a few of the patriotic female characters who had appeared in comics to fight villains and promote the war effort. These characters had all but disappeared by 1946, a testament to their limited wartime relevance. Though Nelvana of the Northern Lights (hereafter “Nelvana”) and Wonder Woman first appeared alongside the others in 1941, they have proven to be more enduring superheroes than their crime-fighting colleagues. In particular, Nelvana was one of five comic book characters depicted in the 1995 Canada Post Comic Book Stamp Collection, and Wonder Woman was one of ten DC Comics superheroes featured in the 2006 United States Postal Service (USPS) Commemorative Stamp Series. The uniquely enduring iconic statuses of Nelvana and Wonder Woman result from their adventures and character development in the context of World War II and the political, social, and cultural climates in their respective English-speaking areas of North America. Through a comparative analysis of Wonder Woman and Nelvana, two of their 1942 adventures, and their subsequent deployment through government-issued postage stamps, I will demonstrate how the two characters embody and reinforce what Michael Billig terms “banal nationalism” in their respective national contexts.

Over the course of three decades most historians familiar with the medium have recognized that American comics, since becoming a mass-cultural product in 1939, have matured beyond their humble beginnings as a monthly publication for children.

The course will offer a history of comic books in Canada, while focusing on iconic texts from this history. The chosen comic books represent a number of different genres. Through reading, writing, and discussion, the class will explore the ways in which these comics articulate notions of the nation-state, geopolitics, heroism, and Canadian identity. The course will also explore questions surrounding the materiality of comic books. As such, the course will ask students to consider the creation, publication, and reception of comic books. How are comic books different from other media? What role do comic books play in popular culture? Why are so many of these Canadian comics published in the United States? Are the terms “comic book” and “graphic novel” synonymous? Does it matter? By exploring the conditions under which comics are produced and disseminated, this course will explore the cultural role played by comic books in Canada.
