Review

"[THE TEN-CENT PLAGUE] tells an amazing story, with thrills and chills more extreme than the workings of a comic book’s imagination."

Publisher's note

A vivid study of the lost world of comic books examines the influence of this pulpy, lavishly illustrated medium on the evolution of American popular culture in the wake of World War II and before the emergence of television as a mass medium, focusing on the battle against comic books by church groups, community elite, academics, and a right-wing Congress. Reprint. 50,000 first printing.

Annotation

David Hadju (POSITIVELY 4TH STREET) delves into the tawdry, bloody, and sensationalistic early years of comic books, and tells the story of how they became a target for moralizing censors in the Red-scare wake of World War II.
