I'm hearing the "Old Radio" archives, and Dimension X it's highly recommended for what it was for its era. Remember: the sci-fi folks mostly were the progressive ones, just look at Star Trek from the 60's. Or The Twilight Zone from the 50's.
- stametseater 4y agoWhen discussing the era of scientific racism, it's a mistake to assume that interest in science correlated with socially progressive beliefs, in the modern sense of progress.
- anthk 4y agoIt depends on the artwork. Most pulp and scifi comics were progressive and "scientific racism" had no sense from a huge intergalactic biology review. Wars? yes, OFC. Stereotypes? Back and forth. Cultures were far more isolated back in the day and the typical " 'murican Southern/Chicagoan journalist/NYC cop" on a Franco-Belgian comic-book was given as a fact.
