THE NIXON PREZIDENCY AND THE POLITICALLY CYNICAL COMIC BOOK

Chapter Four looks at political cynicism, spurred by the war in Vietnam under President Lyndon Johnson and the Watergate scandal of President Richard Nixon, in conjunction with the Voting Rights Act of 1971. The Youth Movement was at the heart of a strange new comic series from DC in 1973: Prez: The First Teen President. With stories of corruption, environmental destruction, international strife, domestic terrorism, and impeachment, Prez, in just four issues, presented a bleak outlook on American politics, one that resonated across four decades with nine different iterations of the Prez character. Prez’s themes of alienation and disaffection, competing with themes of hope and commitment, further resonate throughout major deconstructionist comic works of the 1980s, such as Watchmen, and became integral to much of the work of writer Mark Russell in the 2010s.
