Beschreibung:

397 + [16] black & white illustrated pp. (8vo) cloth-backed boards, jacket. First Edition, second printing, without "circle R" colophon on copyright page. No bibliography, which was omitted from the 2nd printing. Very good, spine ends a bit frayed, spine slightly leaning, front hinge cracked, soiled spot to top edge of pageblock, a few fox marks. In modern REPLICA dust jacket (replica jacket reproduces the faded spine and dusty panels of the target copy). "Psychiatrist Fredric Wertham's disastrous but maddeningly well-intentioned attack on horror and crime comics which, he asserted, were ruining American youth. This notorious tome became the fulcrum of a widespread assault on the comics industry, leading to the creation of the Comics Code Authority and almost destroying an art form." — EC, MAD and Pre-Code HORROR Comics of the 1950s. Green Apple Books: 1997, p. 37. Dr. Wertham's methodology has been largely discredited, his motives have been questioned, and his alarm over colorful children's pamphlets seems quaint in the modern era. One of the central questions of Seduction of the Innocent, however, remains a provocative mystery, especially as green-screen superheroes, latter-day avatars of hooded justice, continue to dominate our collective dream life: "What is the social meaning of these supermen, superwomen, superlovers, superboys, supergirls, super-ducks, super-mice, super-magicians, super-safecrackers? How did Nietzsche get into the nursery?" A limited edition of 150 softcover and 15 hardcover catalogues is available. 400 lots, fully illustrated. Fun reference, great keepsake. Softcover $30, deluxe hardcover with dust jacket and limitation plate $200. Ten of the 15 hardcovers are pre-ordered and the rest will go quickly, so reserve yours now. To order, contact [email protected] . Consignments welcome for PBA's December 2021 Comic Book sale. Top prices for Pre-Code Horror, Golden Age, Silver Age, original art and ephemera.
