The Young Comedians: With Photos

It was 1959 - customized cars, duck-tail haircuts, beatnik poetry and cool jazz. Two creative teenage boys test the limits of their world, encountering race hatred, anti-communist paranoia, homophobia, class warfare and teenage love... Read the adventures - Of Juan the fake Brazilian exchange student and the "Tango of Lahf," - Of Steve frightening two red-neck neo-Nazis with his claim of being a member of "The Secret Negro Society," that keeps a watch on characters like them, - Of Billy and the Banger's plan to use a motorcycle to break up a "Sosh" dance demonstration at the Hutch, - Of Steve and Jack's radio show in which Superman plots the murder of Lois Lane to keep her from blabbing his secret identity, - Of the competition between Steve and Jack for the love of the beautiful Tyra Wayne, a young USO singer, who has started the only mixed-race sorority at Wilson High, - Of Steve's thwarted attempt to make Jack into an "normal" teen by disguising him in the latest fashions from Huntington's Department Store, - Of Steve's public shaming by a high school gossip-columnist and Jack's revenge on his friend's behalf. It's all there, and much more, in "The Young Comedians."
