(4) YA Pop Culture Revolutions series. This outline of the evolution of comic books includes a historical and contemporary overview; it also focuses on the cultural and political issues of war, censorship, and social change in the comic-book world. The interesting issues raised are somewhat diluted by poorly placed facts, images, or anecdotes. Archival photographs and panels from early comics are useful. Reading list, timeline. Bib., glos., ind.
