Anti - Wertham Editorial - CAPTAIN AMERICA #71











The publication of Dr. Frederick Wertham's book SEDUCTION OF THE INNOCENT sparked a conflagration of criticism of comic books. A reply to Dr. Wertham's attacks on the comics was published in CAPTAIN AMERICA #71, March 1949.

  1. Thanks for posting this. I was just researching Russ Heath (RIP) for the Key Collector Comics app and found out about the anti-wertham editorial. Its awesome to see someone scanned and posted it. Thank you Benny. If you would like to check out my free mobile app, Key Collector Comics, you can download on https://keycollectorcomics.com or in the apple or android store. It focuses exclusively on helping people identify which comics are key issues. I'm looking forward to poking around your blog more. Thanks! Nick
