Ilustración De Caniff Para La Revista the Press Photographer (1945) © Milton Caniff Estate Ilustración de Caniff para la revista The Press Photographer (1945) - 138 - CÓMICS EN GUERRA 8 de diciembre de 1941: un día después del ataque de la aviación japone- sa a Pearl Harbour el congreso de EE UU declara ofi cialmente la guerra a Ja- pón. Aunque los frentes abiertos en Europa y Asia estaban lejos de sus fronte- ras, los ciudadanos norteamericanos se prepararon en una u otra medida para participar en la contienda; la industria armamentística empezó a funcionar a todo rendimiento, las ofi cinas de reclutamiento no daban abasto, y la econo- mía de guerra se puso en marcha en todos sus frentes. Los cómics refl ejaron también la ahora activa presencia norteamericana en la II Guerra Mundial en muy distintas formas. En tiempos de guerra los esfuerzos humanos y económicos deben concen- trarse en servicios básicos tanto para los soldados del frente como para los civiles; malos tiempos para la lírica. El papel, por ejemplo, no escasea pero se reduce su producción para fi nes civiles, y entre ellos está la prensa diaria y los cómics.

No ya, que también, enfrentamientos de Joe Palooka con soldados nazis, por los cambios de autor, sino sobre todo porque el patriotismo de los que se en la tira diaria publicada el 6 quedaron en casa por una u otra razón les llevó a modifi car, en ocasiones de de marzo de 1942 forma rotunda, la continuidad de tiras diarias y páginas dominicales. No fue una apuesta mayoritaria, pero sí bastante signifi cativa, y en todo caso bien re- cibida por unos ciudadanos teóricamente más interesados por las noticias del frente que por las viñetas de cada día. La voluntad de los autores fue decisiva para el cambio; de alguna ma- nera, consideraron que era una forma de identifi carse con una causa justa en la lucha contra las potencias del Eje, enemigos de la democracia y la li- bertad, tal y como las entendían en EE UU. Uno de los primeros en gene- rar actividades civiles para el esfuerzo bélico fue Harold Gray, el creador de Little Orphan Annie, hombre de principios sólidos e inmutables. En su tira creó a los Junior Commando, grupos de jóvenes que iban de casa en casa, de taller en taller y de esquina a esquina buscando materiales para reciclar, como periódicos usados o trozos de metal. La iniciativa surtió efecto en la vida real: a fi nales de 1942, sólo en la ciudad de Boston, se habían creado cerca de 20.000 Junior Commandos. Aunque, en realidad, el primer perso- naje de cómics que como tal sintió el impulso de alistarse al ejército fue el boxeador Joe Palooka de Ham Fisher, reclutado voluntariamente desde fi na- les de 1940, y el primero en participar en el frente. En la tira diaria del 5 de enero de 1942, Fisher justifi caba ante sus lectores la “tardanza” en actuar de Palooka explicando que en ese momento ya había escrito y dibujado varias tiras repartidas y enviadas tanto a EE UU como a otros países, por lo que le resultó imposible cambiar su contenido. Obviamente, y para evitar proble- mas de última hora, los syndicates planteaban a los autores unas fechas de entrega muy avanzadas con respecto a la publicación del material. Palooka no tardará en entrar en combate en diversos escenarios bélicos, la Francia Palooka y los resistentes ocupada por los alemanes uno de los primeros. Aunque concentrado en la franceses siembran el caos en las fi las guerra, Fisher seguirá explotando el espíritu de sacrifi cio y su buena predis- alemanas ante la posición para ayudar a la gente de Palooka, incorporando muchas subtra- impotencia de la Gestapo (tira diaria del mas que presentarían problemas personales y cotidianos tanto de soldados 14 de agosto de 1942) como de civiles. © Estate of Ham Fisher - 140 - © Tribune Media Services Tribune © Skeezix protagonizando una de las “tiras de guerra” de “He oído que van a partir a algún sitio y que quizá entren en combate.

El veterano Easy de Roy Crane, por su parte, aparcó su talante viajero y algo despreocupado para combatir desde su país la amenaza japonesa y alemana, retomando su rango de capitán en el ejército poco después del desastre de Pearl Harbour. Otro aventurero, aviador en este caso, Scorchy Media Services Tribune © Smith, fue llevado de la mano por su nuevo dibujante desde 1939, Frank Robbins, a primera línea de fuego en el frente eu- ropeo. Quien tardó algo más en luchar voluntariamente en la contienda fue Skeezix, el hijo adoptivo de Walt Wallet, prota- gonista del Gasoline Alley de Frank King. Crecido lo sufi ciente como para ser reclutado, Skeezix Wallet se alistó en agosto de 1942 para enfrentarse a los japoneses. Antes de que EE UU entrara en la II Guerra Mundial, el pro- tagonista de Jim de la Jungla abandona su selva para actuar en misiones de Terry Lee, un inquieto contraespionaje en lugares más cercanos a su país, como el Canal de Pana- adolescente al principio de la má, e incluso en Washington.

    JOE SINNOTT “THE WORLD’S GREATEST COMIC INKER!” Interviewed by Alan Doshna The Official Joe Sinnott Website http://www.joesinnott.com/ Few are the artists in any field who can dependably produce consistently outstanding work in their given field. Such a one, however, is renowned comic book penciller and inker Joe Sinnott.Born in Upstate New York in 1926, Joe is probably best known for his long tenure on The Fantastic Four, embellishing Jack Kirby’s pencils, The Mighty Thor, Captain America and others. Besides K irby, other whose work he has inked is a literal or “graphic”) Who’s Who” of comic book greats, such as Steve Ditko, Gil Kane, Neal Adams, John Buscema, John Byrne, Carmine Infantino and many, many more. Joe took some time for an interview with us recently. Q: Could you share with us a little bit about your early life and background? A: Oh, sure. Of course I was born in Saugerties, I still live in Saugerties. And I spent three years down in the city when I went to the Cartoonists and Illustrators School (Note: later called The School of Visual Arts). Of course, before that, I served in the Navy Seabees in WW II. And I always drew, I know you’d probably want to know that, ever since I can remember, when I was three years old. My mother had a boarding house, and one of the teachers gave me a box of crayons for my birthday when I was three years old, and it had an Indian on it. I can still recall the Indian, and I drew that Indian over and over and over again with those crayons, and we also had another roomer in the house that had been in the German submarine service in WW I.

  • CHAPTER NINE: Timelines, Comics and A
    fig. 83 Cover Chapter Nine: Timelines oil, acrylic and ink on wood, 2008, 40 x 27.5 cm / 16 in x 11 in Timelines 229 CHAPTER NINE Timelines, Comics and a Plurogenic View of Art History To a fellow compulsive diagrammer. — James Elkins 1 Models of Art History As I began applying the theory of central trope to various artists and artworks, I asked myself how it could also be employed to consider broader questions. One outcome of this speculation was the preceding chapter, where I used metaphor(m) to address painting as a whole, the novel and Christian Doelker's notion of the extended text. Similarly, in this chapter I asked myself what a model of art history itself could look like if I treated the standard timeline as an artwork of sorts, and attempted to create a new one which would embody a central trope incorporating a contemporary conception of history while retaining heuristic use as a learning device. The mere hubris of challenging traditional and current models of art history and endeavoring to construct a new one is highly agonistic. Once again, I feel this is Bloomian, yet not Oedipal. I am not aiming to utterly dismiss the timeline, as some have done, as I discuss below. In a dialogical fashion I am answering back to the calls of the models of art history now in use, trying to improve upon them by shaping a new and better trope for understanding the discipline. 1 James Elkins, personal communication: autograph in book, Stories of Art , 2008.
