But during its heyday in the early 1950s, EC was also an early innovator in another genre of comics: the so-called "preachies," socially conscious stories that boldly challenged the conservatism and conformity of Eisenhower-era America. EC Comics examines a selection of these works--sensationally-titled comics such as "Hate!," "The Guilty!," and "Judgment Day!"--and explores how they grappled with the civil rights struggle, antisemitism, and other forms of prejudice in America. Putting these socially aware stories into conversation with EC's better-known horror stories, Qiana Whitted discovers surprising similarities between their narrative, aesthetic, and marketing strategies. She also recounts the controversy that these stories inspired and the central role they played in congressional hearings about offensive content in comics. The first serious critical study of EC's social issues comics, this book will give readers a greater appreciation of their legacy. 610 20 $a EC Comics $x History. 610 27 $a EC Comics. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01781170 650 0 $a Comic books, strips, etc. $x Moral and ethical aspects. 650 0 $a Literature and society $z United States $x History $y 20th century. $0 http://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh2008107008 650 0 $a Social problems in literature. $0 http://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh85123990 650 7 $a Comic books, strips, etc. $x Moral and ethical aspects. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00869162 650 7 $a Literature and society. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01000096 650 7 $a Social problems in literature. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01122806 651 7 $a United States. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01204155 648 7 $a 1900-1999 $2 fast 655 7 $a History. $2 fast $0 http://id.worldcat.org/fast/1411628 $0 http://id.worldcat.org/fast/1411628 830 0 $a Comics culture. $0 http://id.loc.gov/authorities/names/no2015002557 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20191210015057.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=16D9B02E1B1B11EAA846F92397128E48Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
