Description
In the years between the top of World War II and the mid-1950s, the preferred culture of nowadays was once invented within the pulpy, boldly illustrated pages of comic books. However no sooner had comics emerged than they were beaten down by mass bonfires, congressional hearings, and a McCarthyish panic over their unmonitored and uncensored content. Esteemed critic David Hajdu vividly conjures up the upward push, fall, and upward thrust again of comics on this engrossing history.
