Book Synopsis
Studying the relationship of the Mexican state to its civil society from the 1930s to the 1970s, through comic books and their producers, readers, and censors, this book shows how these tales of adventure reveal about Mexico's cultural nationalism to direct social change. It is for those interested in Mexican history and Latin American studies.

Trade Review
“This is a very interesting study which from an unusual angle reveals a lot about Mexican, as well as Latin American, culture and politics.”—Erick D. Langer, Georgetown University
“With this study Anne Rubenstein breaks new ground in Mexican cultural history, giving comic books the political and social importance they deserve in the making of Mexican national society and PRI hegemony after 1940. Her gendered analysis is refreshing and exemplary.”—Mary Kay Vaughan, University of Illinois at Chicago
