To mark VE day, I am posting an old folder of anti-fascist posters from the Spanish Civil War.
I originally started collecting these to try and choose an image for my book cover, and kept going because they're objectively awesome. Lost many in the last laptop migration, but the best remain...

Classic poster ‘Les milicies us necessiten!’ (‘The militias need you!’). 3 flags (Catalan, Anarchist, Communist) are flying in the autumn of 1936 calling for anti-fascist unity. Artist Cristobal Arteche based woman on Marlene Dietrich, encouraging / shaming men to join up.

At the Phillips Museum in DC is a terrific exhibit of William Gropper’s antifascist cartoons from the 1930s and 1940s. He was a visual artist blacklisted in the 1950s.

A few years back I discovered that the George W. Bush administration made a series of Christmas videos featuring the Bush Family’s two Scottish Terriers. And they are weird as hell.

Unlike "Strength Through Joy," which was pretty good, in 1936 FIGHT ran a short-lived anti-war comic called “General D’Sorder” by Mackey, which was not funny and kind of looked like shit.

In 1939, the anti-fascist magazine FIGHT (renamed The WORLD) started a recurring series of comics called “Strength Through Joy,” that are, at least a little, funny.
