An examination of the popular horror comics of the 1950s and their re-emergence thirty years later.
The popular horror comics of the 1950s not only frightened their readers, they also alarmed Cold War politicians who enacted the prohibitive Comics Code, sacrificing horror on the altar of good taste. Wandtke examines and explainsthe story of the resurgence of horror comics and introduces readers to the new shape of horror comics within the American culture in the 1980s.
Terrence Wandtke is a professor at Judson University and the author of The Dark Night Returns (RIT, 2015).
