Work cat.: Goodrum, M.D. Printing terror : American horror comics as Cold War commentary and critique, 2021:
pp. 29-30 (There are crises within and without American society that threaten its stability, these comics seem to say, but the narratives and images they contain serve a double, or even triple, function: ... second, to work towards the containment of crises through violent spectacle that restages one of the crises in American masculinity--the practices and consequences of war--and simultaneously demonstrates the functional role of violence, both physical and cultural, in structuring contemporary society; horror comics attested to anxieties around white middle-class masculine identity) p. 90 (The presence of an emasculated male protagonist is standard for horror) (OCoLC)1231448634
