In Teenage Confidential, Michael Barson and Steven Heller trace the evolution of the teenager, from the "KleenTeens" of the thirties through the angst-ridden teens of the sixties. The evidence is displayed in shocking Technicolor on movie posters and the covers of ten-cent paperbacks, in comic books and television shows, and through advertising art and Top Forty music paraphernalia. From Andy Hardy to Father Knows Best to Youth Runs Wild, here is the definitive collection of teenage artifacts sure to delight rebels without causes, connoisseurs of pop culture, and nostalgia enthusiasts everywhere.
