Immerse yourself in the history of comics and their influence during the Second World War, through three strikingly recreated period settings. Visit a comic artist’s studio from the golden age of the 1930s and 1940s, then discover a GI barracks plastered with posters of their favourite comics, and finally, go behind the scenes of the Airborne Museum’s new comic book on the life of John Steele, the bell-tower paratrooper and Metropolis’s other Superman! A visit to enjoy with the whole family, set to a jazz soundtrack, where drawings and reality merge and art becomes a political tool.
