THE 10 CENT PLAGUE:THE GREAT COMIC BOOK SCARE BY David Hajdu

BY David Hajdu. When we picture the 1950s, we hear the sound of early rock and roll. The Ten-Cent Plague shows how -- years before music -- comics brought on a clash between children and their parents, between prewar and postwar standards. Created by outsiders from the tenements, garish, shameless, and often shocking, comics spoke to young people and provided the guardians of mainstream culture with a big target. Parents, teachers, and complicit kids burned comics in public bonfires. Make a Bundle of 4 or more items, purchase at one time. and get 20% off!
