If your are a die hard comic book fan, this book make make you very upset at PTAs, Senate Judical Hearings, Civic Groups, and Catholic Schools, with this retelling of the Horro Comics Scare and the many book burnings that happened as a result.
This all happened in the late 40s and throughout the 50s. And it’s such a shock for a world devistated by the evils of Hitler to go half-cocked and do censorhip and book burnings (Alot of this happened in the UK, but the focus in on the US). It makes someone who’se a big fan of the 50s, like myself, not want to visit that time period some much anymore, except to rescue a bucnh of comic books!
But, despite these shortcomings, one must forgive all these groups that did wrong and focus on the real monster- a doctor by the name of Fredric Wertham- who surprise!- was a product of Nazi Germany!
Great book, but it has a really tragic ending with the 8 pages of those who careers and livelyhoods were ruin by that 1 evil man!
Worth Consuming!
