All Aboard, Mr. Lincoln!

In 1959, the Association of American Railroads published this single-issue comic, illustrated by Bill Bunce, to celebrate the 150th anniversary of Abraham Lincoln's birth by tracing his lifelong connection to trains. As a piece of promotional educational material, it blends history with the railroad industry's role in Lincoln's life and legacy. Though brief, it stands as a unique, non-fiction comic from a corporate publisher, offering a snapshot of mid-century public relations through the medium.
