The Ten-Cent Plague: The Great Comic-Book Scare and How it Changed America by David Hajdu
4.0
Rating: 4* of five
Just read it. It's sixteen kinds of fascinating and a few more kinds of awesome.
Seriously. Just go get one and read it! Quit looking at reviews! Too much good stuff in here that anyone alive in this horrifying over-religioned right wing fucking nightmare country we've allowed to develop in our beloved USA should know about! Censorship and fear-mongering and lying sack-of-shit conservatives are not new developments...just more common than ever.
ETA This encouragement brought to you by someone who has never liked comic books even when they're called "graphic novels" and got all pretentious and stuff. It's still an excellent read, and a hugely important subject.
