Promotional comic books gallery

About this collection

    The items in this collection offer a selection of the promotional comic books held in the Hagley Library's collection.
    These works were generally, though not always, produced by corporations and other business entities for the purposes of advertising a product, managing a company's public image, or providing consumer education. A number of these works were also produced with the goal of influencing public opinion regarding socioeconomic political issues such as organized labor and government regulation of businesses.
    This digital collection does not include all of the Hagley's holdings of promotional comic books. New items may be added periodically.
