As with all other forms of popular culture, comics in East Germany were tightly controlled by the state.

Four-Color Communism gives a lively account of East German comics from both perspectives, showing how the perceived freedoms they embodied created expectations that ultimately limited the regime’s efforts to bring readers into the fold.

But the communal imperative, as it was impactedon by evolving social change, harbored the seeds of its owndisintegration.

Secondly, that of a wide range of topics concerning the concept of "visual narrative," an issue which can only be studied by comparing as many media and practices as possible.The essays of this volume are grouped here in two major parts, their focus depending on either a more general topic or on a very specific graphic author.
