Printing Terror places horror comics of the Cold War in dialogue
with the anxieties of their age. It rejects the narrative of horror
comics as inherently, and necessarily, subversive and explores,
instead, the ways in which these texts manifest white male fears
over America's changing sociological landscape. It examines two
eras: the pre-CCA period of the 1940s up to 1954, and the post-CCA
era to 1975. The book examines each of these periods through the
lenses of war, gender, and race, demonstrating that horror comics
at this time were centered on white male victimhood and the
monstrosity of the gendered and/or racialised other. It is of
interest to scholars of horror, comics studies, and American
history. -- .
