The Ten-Cent Plague: The Great Comic-Book Scare and How it Changed America by David Hajdu
3.0
The good: This book is well researched and appears to have been assembled from a large number of interviews with comic book artists of the era.
The bad: It is hard to expect a fully objective account, but the critical level of the author rarely rises above ad hominem attacks. I found the historical narrative to be disjointed. The overly descriptive writing style didn't make up for the lack of illustrations.
