haunted by the ghost of Fredric Wertham
A look back at post-WWII Kentucky, when comic books were rounded up and burned under the guise of protecting children, and what parallels we can draw to the book bans of today.

The latest from John Cheves is a fantastic read:
Kentuckians feared the post-war world. So they burned their kids’ comic books

Happy 50th anniversary to Lynda Carter's Wonder Woman! The pilot, "The New Original Wonder Woman" aired Nov 7, 1975.

Ok article on the premiere & series, but I don't like that the author calls the great Cathy Lee Crosby "Crawford".
