The Ten-Cent Plague: the Great Comic-Book Scare and How it Changed America by David Hajdu discusses the controversy that lead to comic book censorship. He’ll be in Buffalo as part of WBFO’s “Meet the Author” series. See David Hajdu on Mon. May 19th at 7p.m. at U.B.’s Allen Hall on the South Campus. On Thurs.
