The Ten-Cent Plague: The Great Comic-Book Scare and How it Changed America by David Hajdu

5.0

As a comics fan, I knew that the comics ban had happened but I didn't know any of the gory details. Hadju's considerable power of description and ear for quotes not only gives you detail and context but brings the whole situtaion and country at large to life. As a reader you feel like you were there. Add to that a brief history of where comics came from in America and a descriptive overview of each major genre of comic as they are created and before you know it you are completely engrossed. A must read not only for every serious comic fan but for any American pop culture historian.
