War comics are a comic book genre that became widely popular in English-speaking nations after World War II. Following the emergence of comic books in the mid to late 1930s, publishers began incorporating wartime adventure stories into the popular multigenre omnibus titles. Even prior to the United States' entering World War II, comics like Captain America Comics #1 (March 1941) showcased superheroes battling Adolf Hitler and the Nazis after the Pearl Harbor attack.
