The more things change, the more they stay the same,
By A Customer
This review is from: A Haunt of Fears: The Strange History of the British Horror Comics Campaign (Studies in Popular Culture Series) (Paperback)
Before video games, movies and TV, comic books were the bee in the proto-Tippers' collective bonnets. This book is an admirable attempt to summarise the campaign against the comics in Britan, which actually led to them being banned.The comics themselves (of which three are reproduced in full and many others in part) seem almost quaint now; the campaigners seem as silly as their intellectual descendents do today. The work is well-structured and never dull, but the writing lets it down a bit - there's a weird undergraduate feel throughout. Still, worth a look for comic book or pop culture fans. |
