During the Occupation, comic magazines represented a very significant ideological stake. In unoccupied zone, Pétain’s entourage encouraged the publication of newspapers, most of them influenced by Catholic ideologies. In the occupied zone of France, some journals survived until their publication stopped in spring 1942. In 1943, Le Téméraire, was given permission to publish. In spite of what was published in the issue, it was not a German magazine but it was tolerated by them. It was conceived by Jacques Bousquet, Abel Bonnard’s private secretary. Le Téméraire was the lone paper until 1944, with 150,000 copies and a good presentation, which had a great impact on children. Yet, Le Téméraire propagated authoritarian and somewhat racist military ideologies. Jacques Bousquet and his friends also tried to set up a youth organization drawn from seemingly unbiased reading clubs.
