The Ten-Cent Plague: The Great Comic-Book Scare and How it Changed America - David Hajdu Audiobook

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. No sooner had this new culture emerged than it was beaten down by church groups, community bluestockings, and a McCarthyish Congress–only to resurface with a crooked smile on its face in “Mad “magazine.
The story of the rise and fall of those comic books has never been fully told–until “The Ten-Cent Plague.” David Hajdu’s remarkable new book vividly opens up the lost world of comic books, its creativity, irreverence, and suspicion of authority.
When we picture the 1950s, we hear the sound of early rock and roll. “The Ten-Cent Plague “shows how–years before music–comics brought on a clash between children and their parents, between prewar and postwar standards. Created by outsiders from the tenements, garish, shameless, and often shocking, comics spoke to young people and provided the guardians of mainstream culture with a big target. Parents, teachers, and complicit kids burned comics in public bonfires. Cities passed laws to outlaw comics. Congress took action with televised hearings that nearly destroyed the careers of hundreds of artists and writers.

Outlawing comics… You notice everything that is outlawed becomes so much more popular, if only they could view the future, all that wasted effort in prohibition… Imagine making one of that generation’s blue stockinged matrons sit through the new Aquaman movie…Outraged, yet sticky and confused… The outraged and the outrageous, it’s all a matter of perspective…
