Out July 16, 2013.
Before Fredric Wertham and The Seduction of the Innocent (SOTI), before
the Kefauver Hearings, and before the infamous Comics Code, the comic
book racks at local drug stores and newsstands boasted a plethora of
delights highlighted by the good girl adventures of the comic book
version of Brenda Starr. These four-color wonders displayed all the
finer things loved by comic books buyers: good girls, bondage, a little
torture, and other exciting things, which adults thought would corrupt
the morals of young and impressionable readers (Brenda Starr cover art
was even used as an example in SOTI). Now for the first time in over
fifty years comics fans can read and own these rare comics from another
era, digitally restored to perfection and presented in an archival
hardcover. In addition to presenting all of the Brenda Starr stories,
this reprint also boasts all of the scintillating back-up features found
in these books as well. WARNING! These stories are not for the faint of
heart! Thie volume collects the first eight issues of the Superior
Comics Brenda Starr Pre-Code comics with art by Jack Kamen and Matt
Baker, complete with a historic essay and documentary material.
