A comprehensive history of a small, but important, comic book publisher, this work reflects the reading tastes of tens of millions of Americans during the Golden and Silver ages of comics
(1934-1970). The earlier Sangor ＂Shop＂ reinvented itself as the American Comics Group and by 1967 had published over one thousand issues. ACG was a microcosm of the larger industry, publishing
magazines in every major comic book genre. Best known titles include ＂Herbie＂ and ＂Forbidden Worlds.＂ It was ACG’s ＂Adventures into the Unknown＂ that sparked a new genre--horror--which led to
the Comics Code Authority, and industry-wide ＂self＂ censorship.
