Education Is The Mission – Explore We Spoke Out: Comic Books And The Holocaust From Yoe Books

by Hannah Means Shannon

Craig Yoe has been editing and preserving classic comics for many years through his Yoe Books imprint with Clizia Gussoni, now at IDW. His books are often timely and always important to preserving our understanding and appreciation of comics that might otherwise be swept aside as time marches onwards.

One of his latest products, We Spoke Out: Comic Books and the Holocaust, is getting a lot of justified attention, and the book itself is structured around a wide array of comics and commentary. With a new cover provided by Neal Adams, the book explores the way in which Nazi genocide was presented in the pages of Batman, the X-Men, Captain America, and Sgt. Rock.
Holocaust scholar Rafael Medoff, and Yoe act as guides into this important avenue of comics history, and an introduction is provided by Stan Lee.
Here’s a peek at what the book contains, including Lee’s introduction and you can also see what the New York Times has to say about this new volume right here.
