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!"
