The ten-cent plague : the great comic-book scare and how it changed America

Author:	David Hajdu
Publisher:	New York : Farrar, Straus and Giroux, 2008.

Summary:	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.
