In the 1950s there was the Cold War and Red Scare! These fears motivated
civic organizations and major comic book companies to team up and create
beautifully drawn comic books with clever stories to be passed out in
the streets, in union halls, in factories, at state fairs, in schools,
in churches--wherever people gathered. There were titles like "The Man
Who Stole Your Vote" (with an evil masked super villain), "If Your
Children Could Vote" (with a brave, brash Greta Thurnberg-of-the-time
berating the adults), and "Your Vote is Vital" (powerfully illustrated
by Lee Elias!).
The 1960s Civil Rights-era had the NAACP behind a historically
important, engaging comic book "The Street Where You Live" to motivatee
blacks to get to the polls (drawn by pioneering black artist Tom
Feelings). There is historical evidence that this is an unknown Marvel
comic!
These comic books warned citizens to be on the alert for political
corruption and get out and vote to stop it! These lost and priceless
comic books are beautifully restored and reprinted in full in this
fascinating edition. Multiple-Eisner Award winner Craig Yoe provides a
revealing introduction profusely illustrated with photos and rare
cartoons.
Vote to put sane, progressive people and policies in our government!
This astonishingly relevant book will entertainingly show you why and
how!
As the caped crusader might say, "Order now, citizen!"
