Washington, D.C., U.S.A.: Smithsonian Books, Date: 2002. Trade Paperback. Near Fine. This is a study of how comic strips contributed to the expansion of a mass consumer culture that was increasingly driven by visual images; it shows that the most enduring role of comic strips, which emerged as Americans were beginning to define themselves less by what they made than what they bought, has been not only to mirror a burgeoning consumer culture but to actively promote it (black pictorial cover with red & white lettering, covers very slightly curled; otherwise a bright, clean, tight copy in nearly perfect conditon) 2002.
