Synopsis

Horror Comics History explores the rise and fall of a controversial art form in post-war America. Delving into the graphic world of horror comics, the book examines their popularity, the social anxieties they mirrored, and the censorship that ultimately curtailed their artistic freedom.

 
The book highlights how these comics, filled with gore and the supernatural, became a focal point in a moral panic fueled by concerns about juvenile delinquency, even leading to the establishment of the Comics Code Authority, which significantly sanitized the industry.

 
The book charts the ascent of horror comics, dissects the moral panic they ignited, and analyzes the lasting impact of censorship. It begins with the pioneers of the genre, moves through the thematic elements that defined these comics, and culminates in the establishment of the Comics Code Authority.

 
This exploration reveals how anxieties about the Cold War and changing social norms found expression in these often disturbing narratives, offering a unique lens through which to view mid-20th century American culture and the ongoing tension between artistic expression and societal control.

Daphne & Me - My Life on Frasier...

Jane Leeves, Isabella Kathryn Coben

She must confess, she's a bit psychic—and now she's reading the audiobook! 
“Oh, hello! Caught me with me hand in the biscuit tin!” 
With one iconic line, Daphne Moon burst onto the set of Frasier and Jane Leeves’s life changed forever. A former ballerina from a small English town that David Hyde Pierce lovingly nicknamed “Muffin-on-Poot,” Leeves perfectly embodied her character—a live-in physical therapist for Frasier Crane’s father and a quirky, down-to-earth foil to pompous Frasier and his equally pretentious brother, Niles. 
In Daphne & Me, Leeves offers a surprising, behind-the-scenes look at Frasier, filled with unexpected stories from the show’s eleven seasons and beyond. She opens the door to the fabled—and shockingly cramped—greenroom, where John Mahoney started each morning with a cup of coffee while reading the newspaper, and where the tight quarters quickly bonded the cast into a family. (Nothing brings people together like sharing a bathroom.) She recounts the times Kelsey Grammer broke his scene-mates by delivering lines in a spot-on Bette Davis impression, and how Moose—the talented terrier who starred as Eddie—was a holy terror on set and upstaged the entire cast with his popularity, even flying in first class. 
As Daphne and Niles were falling head over heels for each other in a great television romance, Leeves was finding her true love on the Paramount lot, too, and when she started a family of her own, it was Peri Gilpin who held her hand in the hospital. 
Written with Leeves’s daughter Isabella, Daphne & Me is the story of a young woman taking a risk, discovering herself, and finding a family on and off screen, and a love letter to one of the most successful sitcoms of all time.
