MrBedrock 34,822 posts Posted December 30, 2019 Here is something to think about as we head into 2020... Only 75 years ago, the late 1950's became a psychologically torturous time for many. The Red Scare, the atom bomb, civil unrest, advancing technology, UFOs, Rock and Roll!, all of these things and more stressfully and oppressively created a feeling of loss of control. And after the institution of the Comics Code these fears became the central recurring topic of so many of the mystery comics of the day. Man's lack of control of his surroundings. Please post any ten cent post code cover that you think best illustrates this theme... 13 MusterMark, bounty_coder, piper and 10 others reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
