American Comics by Jeremy Dauber
A History
A sweeping cultural history that traces the rise of American comics from 19th-century newspapers through the golden and silver ages to the graphic novel era, showing how the form evolved alongside social, political, and economic change. The book illuminates the creators, studios, and industries behind iconic characters and movements, explores controversies from censorship to representation, and argues that comics both reflected and helped shape national debates about identity, race, gender, and power. Through close readings and archival research, it situates serialized panels and superhero sagas within broader American cultural history.
