Go! Opium Pandamonium! Go! : From the Opium Pipe to Saturday Morning Children's Cartoons
Editorial Reviews
Book Description
In the 1990s, the Super Duper Power Pandas took the children's television and merchandising worlds by storm. The story and images of the crime-fighting, bamboo-eating Power Pandas were everywhere. Every parent in America knew them and every child in America loved them.
What no one knew, though, was the Pandas' previous incarnation as a depraved, sexual, violent underground comic book, conveniently swept under the rug by a powerful corporation bent on winning over children's affection as well as taking their parents' money.
Now, for the first time in history, the complete and candid story of the Pandas' lurid origins are revealed, including synopses of the original forty-four issue comic book saga that spawned the children's cartoon and merchandising phenomenon.
