The ten-cent plague : the great comic-book scare and how it changed America / David Hajdu. 1st ed. New York : Farrar, Straus and Giroux, 2008. 434 p., [8] p. of plates : ill. ; 24 cm. Includes bibliographical references (p. [407]-412) and index. In the years between World War II and the emergence of television as a mass medium, American popular culture as we know it was first created--in the pulpy, boldly illustrated pages of comic books. No sooner had this new culture emerged than it was beaten down by church groups, community bluestockings, and a McCarthyish Congress--only to resurface with a crooked smile on its face in Mad magazine.-- From publisher description.
