Abstract
Hazañas Bélicas has been studied by some of the main specialists on the history of the Spanish comics. However, there are questions that require a more detailed study, as the successive publish of this comic, the election of wars as contexts for the stories and the fascination on war technology. This article analyzes these subjects taking a selection of the comics published between 1950 and 1956. Among its main conclusions, it’s to be noted the preference of the Second World War as context for the stories, the preeminence of American and German heroes and the minuteness of the representation of war technology.Downloads
