Comic book-style stories explain the fads, events, people, music, sports, and everything else about one of the more colorful decades in history. Trying to cover pet rocks and Viet Nam in the same book leads to some inevitable unevenness, of course, and the serious topics are often trivialized or over-simplified. But there are already many books on Watergate; buy this book to learn about streaking and disco.
The '70s Are Back, Man!

This is the latest volume in Paradox Press' excellent Big Books series. It proves to be another winner! It chronicles the Me Decade, and analyzes how it affects society as we know it in this decade. It covers a lot of the wacky memories, like pet rocks, mood rings, and the fashions, plus some of the not-so-wacky memories, like the gasoline shortage and the Iranian hostage crisis. As someone born in the 1970s, I truly enjoyed this. But you don't have to be a child of the '70s to like it too!
Another winner from Factoid!!!

I love the "Big Book" series, and this entry is no exception. It's a cultural history text for the discerning hipster. More than just a review of the Me Decade's fads, it examines the 1970's biggest news stories and most notorious personalities. The artwork, produced by dozens of comicdom's most talented pencilers, ranges from cartoony to photorealistic. But don't let the term "comicbook" throw you. Lots of informative, entertaining historical research is here. Learn more about what the Seventies were like, or reminisce about how much cooler things were back then.(Yeah, right.)
