WORTH CONSUMING!
If you are a die-hard comic book
fan, this book might make you very upset at PTAs, Senate Judicial Hearings,
Civic Groups, and Catholic Schools, with this retelling of the Horror 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 devastated by the evils
of Hitler to go half-cocked and do censorship and book burnings (A lot of this
happened in the UK, but the focus in on the US). It makes someone who’s a big
fan of the 50s, like myself, not want to visit that time period some much
anymore, except to rescue a bunch 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 livelihoods were ruin by that 1 evil
man!
