This is the most shocking book of recent years. And it should be the most influential.
Seduction of the Innocent is the complete, detailed report of the findings of famed psychiatrist, Frederic Wertham, on the pernicious influence of comic books on the youth of today. No parent can afford to ignore it.
You think your child is immune? Don't forget — 90,000,000 comic books are read each month.
On the basis of wide experience and many years' research, Dr. Wertham flatly states that comic books:
-
Are an invitation to illiteracy
-
Create an atmosphere of cruelty and deceit
-
Stimulate unwholesome fantasies
-
Suggest criminal or sexually abnormal ideas
-
Create a readiness for temptation
- Suggest forms a delinquent impulse may take and supply details of technique
