The Ten Cent Plague by David Hajdu
The Great Comic-Book Scare and How It Changed America
A cultural history tracing the rise of comic books from cheap entertainment to the center of a 1950s moral panic, documenting how concerns about juvenile delinquency, sensationalist media, and a high-profile crusade by reformers led to Senate hearings and the imposition of a self-censoring industry code that reshaped creators’ work, stifled controversial stories, and reflected broader anxieties about postwar American society.
