Commies, Cowboys, and Jungle Queens: Comic Books and America, 1945-1954

Editorial Reviews
The Washington Post Book World, Dennis Drabelle
In Commies, Cowboys, and Jungle Queens, William Savage ... argues that, in the decade between the end of World War II and the comic book industry's adoption of a prissy code at the height of the McCarthy era, the comics presented a distorted but recognizable image of American mores. As a thesis, this may be a non-startler, but Savage fleshes it out in interesting detail and accessible prose, embellished with well-chosen (if dingy and cramped) reproductions of period strips.

Book Description
Comic books crystallize the social and political problems of a troubled period in American culture.
