EC Comics : race, shock, and social protest / by Whitted, Qiana J.,1974-author.;
Includes bibliographical references and index.Introduction : The Preachies -- "Spelled out carefully in the captions": how to read an EC magazine -- "We pictured him so different, Joey!": Optical illusions of Blackness and embodiment in EC -- "Oh God...sob!...What have I done...?": Shame, mob rule, and the affective realities of EC justice -- "Battling, in the sea of comics": EC's Invisible Man and the Jim Crow future of "Judgment Day!" -- Conclusion : "Hence we see justice triumph!" -- Appendix : Annotations of key EC titles.Entertaining Comics Group (EC Comics) is perhaps best-known today for lurid horror comics like Tales from the Crypt and for a publication that long outlived the company's other titles, Mad magazine. But during its heyday in the early 1950s, EC was also an early innovator in another genre of comics: the so-called "preachies," socially conscious stories that boldly challenged the conservatism and conformity of Eisenhower-era America. EC Comics examines a selection of these works--sensationally-titled comics such as "Hate!," "The Guilty!," and "Judgment Day!"--and explores how they grappled with the civil rights struggle, antisemitism, and other forms of prejudice in America. Putting these socially aware stories into conversation with EC's better-known horror stories, Qiana Whitted discovers surprising similarities between their narrative, aesthetic, and marketing strategies. She also recounts the controversy that these stories inspired and the central role they played in congressional hearings about offensive content in comics. The first serious critical study of EC's social issues comics, this book will give readers a greater appreciation of their legacy.

Trayaurus and the enchanted crystal / by DanTDM,1991-author.(CARDINAL)629014; Love, Mike(Illustrator),illustrator.(CARDINAL)429307; Mulryan, Doreen,illustrator.(CARDINAL)498526;
"From the mind of one of the most popular YouTubers of all time, DanTDM, comes a graphic novel adventure that reimagines the Minecraft-style worlds and characters he's created like you've never seen them before. After a day of experiments, Trayaurus and DanTDM are about to call it a night when a strange-looking crystal plummets to earth, breaking into five pieces that scatter far and wide. DanTDM and Trayaurus recover one of the shards and quickly realize they are in possession of an object more powerful than anything they've ever known. Word reaches DanTDM and Trayaurus that other pieces of crystal have been recovered - a group of pigs have harnessed the crystals' power to enable them to talk. But they're not alone - their archenemy Denton has also found a shard and manipulated its power for evil. He has created a cloning machine, producing a terrifying, marauding army intent on hunting down the remaining crystals in his effort to become all-powerful. It's down to DanTDM and Trayaurus to stop him. Will they prevail, or will the forces of evil be too great for them to overcome?"--Publisher.GN200LAccelerated Reader AR
