Worker's Party of America · 1926–1948 · 145 issues
From 1926 to 1948, New Masses was the militant comic voice of the Worker's Party of America, blending sharp political satire with radical leftist commentary across 145 issues. The series is most defined by the incisive work of William Gropper and Otto Soglow, who both wrote and drew its most frequent contributions, skewering figures like Adolf Hitler, Herbert Hoover, Franklin Roosevelt, and Benito Mussolini with a caustic, class-conscious wit. Even Jesus appeared as a recurring character, reflecting the magazine's unique fusion of religious imagery and anti-capitalist critique. As a pioneering comic of the American left, New Masses matters for its unflinching visual propaganda during the Great Depression and pre-World War II era.
