"Greater Golden Age: Comic Books" by Molby Jean, published by COMANGA LLC in 2024, delves into the profound history and current challenges faced by the comic book industry. It presents an extensive analysis, from its inception to its pivotal moments, including the overlooked opportunities that could have propelled the industry forward. Jean, drawing from his own experiences and the broader cultural and economic implications, argues for the importance of comic books across different age groups, emphasizing their role in fostering literacy, imagination, and a sense of identity among readers. The book critically examines the industry's decline, attributing it not only to changes in consumer preferences but also to systematic efforts by competing entertainment sectors to undermine comic books during their golden age. It highlights the role of censorship and moral panics, spearheaded by figures like Fredric Wertham, in stigmatizing comics and contributing to their marginalization. Moreover, Jean proposes innovative solutions to rejuvenate the industry, advocating for changes in production, distribution, and the embrace of digital mediums to reach wider audiences. Jean's narrative extends beyond mere criticism, offering a blueprint for ushering in a "Greater Golden Age" for comics. He envisions a future where comics are universally appreciated for their artistic and storytelling prowess, urging industry stakeholders to recognize their potential in shaping future generations. This book serves as both a historical account and a call to action, encouraging readers to support a revival that respects the medium's rich legacy while adapting to contemporary cultural dynamics.
