Book Description
COOKIE - THE FUNNIEST KID IN TOWN If messing up were money, Cookie would have been the Donald Trump of his day. In the 1940's Cookie, with his equally-inept friends like Jitterbuck and always-sought-after teen dream Angelpuss, schemed and stumbled into tens of thousands of households. BARNYARD COMICS #14 It was the Golden Age of Comics, the 1940's. Every week new publications would warp the minds of our youth, destroy (or save, depending on your point of view) the culture of America, and drain hard-earned dimes from the pockets of young boys and girls. A glorious time! Now you can enjoy again - or, for the first time - some of the classic Golden Age comics, with Calumet History and Hobby's public domain reprint series. This book contains the full issues of Barnyard Comics #14, available in print for the first time in over 60 years! NOTE: THIS BOOK CONTAINS MATERIAL THAT IS NOT POLITICALLY CORRECT, AND MAY OFFEND MODERN SENSIBILITIES... DIZZY DAMES #5 Sandwiched between the Golden Age of the 40's and the Silver Age of the 60's, the comics of the 1950's remain underrated. Full of imagination, colorful characters and plots, the times of Cold War, atomic mutations, and anything-goes storylines are a wealth of entertainment that today's generation seldom gets to see. As part of the anything-goes theme, ACG published DIZZY DAMES, a politically- and socially-incorrect comical look at certain women of the era - classic characters such as Broadway Girls, Moronica, Knothead Nellie, Dee Licious, and many more! You can once again enjoy the fun and frolic of a by-gone era with Calumet History and Hobby's comic reprints - check out our full catalog!

Book Description
Comic books have presented fictional and fact-based stories of the Korean War, as it was being fought and afterward. Comparing these comics with events that inspired them offers a deeper understanding of the comics industry, America's "forgotten war," and the anti-comics movement, championed by psychiatrist Fredric Wertham, who criticized their brutalization of the imagination. Comics--both newsstand offerings and government propaganda--used fictions to justify the unpopular war as necessary and moral. This book examines the dramatization of events and issues, including the war's origins, germ warfare, brainwashing, Cold War espionage, the nuclear threat, African Americans in the military, mistreatment of POWs, and atrocities.

Book Description
Conventional wisdom holds that comic books of the post-World War II era are poorly drawn and poorly written publications, notable only for the furor they raised. Contributors to this thoughtful collection, however, demonstrate that these comics constitute complex cultural documents that create a dialogue between mainstream values and alternative beliefs that question or complicate the grand narratives of the era. Close analysis of individual titles, including EC comics, Superman, romance comics, and other, more obscure works, reveals the ways Cold War culture--from atomic anxieties and the nuclear family to communist hysteria and social inequalities--manifests itself in the comic books of the era. By illuminating the complexities of mid-century graphic novels, this study demonstrates that postwar popular culture was far from monolithic in its representation of American values and beliefs.
