Product Information
In the years between World War II and the emergence of television, 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, however, than conservative groups tried to suppress it.

"Who knew? The right was focused on the Red Menace and the left on the Red Scare. But, if you want to understand what was really going on in the mad, mad, mad world of the 1950's you should read David Hajdu's hilarious and harrowing account of The Great Comic Book Scare. Hajdu's tale is lurid, absurd, existential, weird, and scary, and contains real-life superheros and supervillains, and there is nothing funny about it." -Victor Navasky, author ofNaming Names "THE TEN-CENT PLAGUE is about the best account yet of comics in America, an instant classic of cultural history." -Geoffrey O'Brien, author ofSonata for Jukebox "Every once in a while, moral panic, innuendo, and fear bubble up from the depths of our culture to create waves of destructive indignation and accusation. David Hajdu's fascinating new book tracks one of the stranger and most significant of these episodes, now forgotten, with exactness, clarity, and serious wit, which is the best kind. He illuminates the lives of his protagonists -- from pompous, on-the-make censors to cracked comic book geniuses -- with his own graphic powers, as well as his intense intellectual curiosity. The book is a rarity, vividly depicting anoirish 1950's America but without a trace of irony or nostalgia." --Sean Wilentz, Professor of History, Princeton University, "THE TEN-CENT PLAGUE is about the best account yet of comics in America, an instant classic of cultural history." -Geoffrey O'Brien, author ofSonata for Jukebox "Every once in a while, moral panic, innuendo, and fear bubble up from the depths of our culture to create waves of destructive indignation and accusation.
