WERTHAM'S WEAPONS VOL FIVE Ð In 1954 Frederic Wertham's Seduction Of The Innocent hit
the stores; it accused comics of destroying the minds, morals, and social health of American
youth through graphic depictions of sex, drugs and violence. He cited many specific comics in
his now-debunked tirade against comics, including the books in this volume: TRUE CRIME
COMICS V1 #2, FAMOUS CRIMES #3, CRIMES BY WOMEN #10, PUBLIC ENEMIES #2, WEB OF
EVIL#1, MEET CORLISS ARCHER #1 and JUNGLE COMICS #98
Was he right? You decide!
This book was compiled with the best images currently available. That stated, these comics are
seventy years old. The best efforts have been made to make the pages as enjoyable as possible
but not every panel is perfect and some allowances for the age of the books need to be
considered when judging the overall contents.
