Features: "Jiowang Manhua" (Rescue-Arms Comics) and "Kangzhan Manhua" (Anti-War Comics) were important publications during the War of Resistance, marking a milestone in the history of Chinese comics. This year marks the 60th anniversary of the victory in the Anti-Japanese War. Reprinting these comic publications, which were created, edited, and published during that "brutal comic war" for the cause of anti-Japanese resistance, holds significant historical value and meaning. This book includes 11 issues of the five-day periodical "Jiowang Manhua" and 15 issues of the bi-weekly "Kangzhan Manhua" (including three reprinted issues), presenting a comprehensive view of the situation during the war and the historical scenes that inspired the public to fight for victory in the Anti-Japanese War.
