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.
