MEN OF TOMORROW Geeks, Gangsters And The Birth Of The Comic Book

Gerard Jones, a longtime insider to the comic book business, draws on years of research and interviews to reveal how the collision of Yiddish and American culture shaped the modern vision of the hero. He recounts the frightened counterattack against comics that nearly destroyed the industry in the 1950s and traces the underground resurgence that inspired a new generation to transmute those long-ago fantasies into art, literature, and blockbuster movies. Gilt titles on spine and golden cover boards, b & w plates, includes notes and an index. Out Of Print. Condition: Very Fine.
