HORROR! VIOLENCE! GORE! Comic Books the Government Didn't Want You to Read! Golden Age Terror

The Horror! The Horror! Comic Books the Government Didn't Want You to Read by Jim Trombetta (2010). Terror. Fear. Gore. The 1950s horror comic was designed to jump out at you-all but literally-from a magazine rack swarming with competitors. Golden Age horror comics were so outrageous and disturbing that the US Congress held televised hearings about the impact of comic books on juvenile delinquency. This witch-hunt led to comic book burnings, the Comics Code Authority, and the end of comics Golden Age. Here are over 200 comic book covers and comics featuring the best-or is it the worst-of 1950s horror comics. Featuring comic book artists Don Heck, George Tuska, Charles Biro, Basil Wolverton, L.B.Cole, Johnny Craig, Bob Powell, Bernard Baily, Steve Ditko, Joe Maneely.
