Comic Books and America measures a remarkably popular medium's reflection of social and political problems during a troubled period in American history. In addition to their entertainment value, comic books offered a world-view to a large segment of the American public in the confusion of the decade following World War II. By 1945,. Comic books were more than simply diversions for children: millions had been distributed to service personnel during the war years. And in the postwar decade, adults as well as children purchased and read an astounding 60 million comic books per month. These books treated such contemporary concerns as the atomic and hydrogen bombs, the growth of international Communism, and the Korean War, and they offered heroes and heroines to deal with such problems. In response to moral criticism leveled against comic books in 1954, the industry established a Comics Code that specified acceptable comic-book content. The code prohibited most of what had appeared in the medium prior to 1954, and what has since come to be known as the "golden age" of comic books came abruptly to an end. In exploring materials often dismissed as ephemeral and in consequential, Comic Books and America reveals a great deal about the society that produced this literature and offers clues to the beliefs and attitudes of adults today, many of whom were avid readers of comic books in their formative years. This unique and innovative book with reproductions of five representative stories, will appeal both to social historians and to general readers interested in the comic book as a significant and vivid expression of American culture. --… (més)
