From Wikipedia: Government comics:

The United States government and affiliated bodies occasionally print and publish works using the comic medium. These works fulfill a wide variety of purposes often seen in government publications, primarily educating the public about government programs or lifestyle choices the government wants to encourage.[1] Richard L. Graham examines and dissects these government comics in Government Issue: Comics for the People, 1940s-2000s.[2]

Said comics (and some others published by other governments, elsewhere) can be found at the following sites and at sites they link to:

Government Comics Collection ["[...] comic books, posters, and comics-related reports and documents, produced by various world governments and agencies. While a large portion of these materials reflects our institutional membership in the U.S. Federal Depository Library Program, materials from the EEU, Canada, and other nations are also included. This database is constantly growing as items become available."]
