Landmarks of American Liberty

A single-issue educational comic published in 1950 by the J. C. Penney Company, Landmarks of American Liberty was designed to introduce young readers to key sites and symbols of American history. Produced as a promotional giveaway, this brief pamphlet stands as a modest but earnest example of mid-century corporate-sponsored comics, using the medium to foster civic awareness. Its historical significance lies in its rarity as a standalone, non-newsstand publication from a major retailer.
