…but you know, wetham wasn’t so far off in that appraisal of wonder woman. Moulton Marston (was that his name) was totally freaky-deaky and WW’s golden age stuff is just a barely varnished version of his “philosophies/fantasies” — and what’s even freakier? It was hella popular.

Listening to the audiobook now on my long commutes. Great book, up there with Gerard Jones’ Men of Tomorrow as serious, detailed social art history. Unique in how it addresses both the experiences of the readers/kids and the “opposing forces” (far beyond just Wertham), as well as the creators. Never could really get into Kavalier & Klay, but I can’t get enough of the true stories of the golden age creators

I will be saving up for the audio book/CDs which is only a few bucks more than the book. It’s pretty darn interesting stuff and makes a good effort to tell stories we would have never made the effort to dig up.
