Brenda Starr: The Complete Pre-Code Comic Books Volume 2

Before Fredric Wertham and The Seduction of the Innocent (SOTI), before the Kefauver Hearings, and before the infamous Comics Code the comic book racks at local drug stores and newsstands boasted a plethora of delights highlighted by the good girl adventures of the comic book version of Brenda Starr. These four-color wonders displayed all the finer things loved by comic book buyers: good girls, bondage, a little torture, and other delectable things, which adults thought would corrupt the morals of young and impressionable readers. Now, for the first time in over 50-years, comics fans can read and own these rare comics from another era, digitally restored to perfection and presented in an archival hardcover. Featuring artwork by the legendary Jerry Iger Studio and Brenda Starr Creator Gale Messick, this volume presents the remaining four Brenda Starr Pre-Code books, issues #9-12, and the very mod and 1960's version of Brenda drawn and scripted by Dale Messick. In addition to presenting Brenda Starr stories, this reprint also boasts all of the scintillating back-up features.

Dale Messick was America’s first syndicated female cartoonist for creating the popular adventure comic strip Brenda Starr, Reporter.
