The Ten-Cent Plague: The Great Comic-Book Scare and How it Changed America
David Hajdu
In the years between the end of World War II and the mid-1950s, American popular culture was first created in the pulpy, boldly illustrated pages of comic books. But no sooner had comics emerged than they were beaten down by mass bonfires, and congressional hearings. This book describes the rise, fall, and rise again of comics.
