Despite the negative attitude towards comics in the immediate aftermath of World War II, and contrary to expectations, the extensive production of NOB-related comics in socialist Yugoslavia between the 1960s and the 1980s proved that not only could comics be a suitable medium for narratives of socialist revolution, but that revolutionary imagery could be shared through practices of comic production, circulation, and consumption, across generations and classes, and in combination with other popular imagery (superheroes, Wild West imagery, rock music...). This paper takes a close look at this revolutionary imagery of "partisan comics", highlighting symbolic shifts, entanglements and generic transgressions. It aims to offer an interpretation that goes beyond dominant views that operate with notions of ideologisation and Americanisation, revealing the realm of mass cultural production as not entirely separate from the revolutionary imagination, but operating within its horizons.
