If you're interested, my wife and I had a chapter on nurse images in comics published in what became an award-winning book on 'Comics and the Cold War':<br /><br />http://www.amazon.com/Comic-Books-Cold-War-1946-1962/dp/0786449810/ref=sr_1_fkmr0_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1330216605&sr=8-2-fkmr0<br /><br />I'd be very interested to read your article when its done.KBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09745482563627003570noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1502701005570169613.post-35410723681771735392013-05-04T21:57:45.936-04:002013-05-04T21:57:45.936-04:00I'm a Nurse Practitioner and a red head and of...I'm a Nurse Practitioner and a red head and of Scots descent. Scots have the highest proportion of redheads in the world (11%) followed by Irish (10%), then Russians and Poles. I woonder just what the proportion of redheads is among those populations and those of us descended from them? Love your page. I've been doing research for an article on nursing images, how they have changed and possible influences on that change. I think it's easier to do graphics of the traditional roles, and the stories may appear better. "Bodice rippers" and romances of all ilk still sell very well - just ask Harlequin, et al. Anyway...keep up the fine work.

Those toffs who look down upon comic books as 'low art' just have no idea!KBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09745482563627003570noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1502701005570169613.post-54033713921796522512010-01-27T11:32:25.119-05:002010-01-27T11:32:25.119-05:00KB: Oh, hell yes!

It's a tough call, but DC war comics from the silver age may be my favorites of all the genre, and this post is a good example of why. Fine writing by Kanigher, and the art! That page where the plane lands in the ocean is just so fine. <br /><br />I enjoyed your commentary as well. More war romances, please. -- MykalMykal Bantahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12148489896145024134noreply@blogger.com
