Description:
"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 -- withhis 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
