Just seeing the cover maybe "Suduction of the Innocent" author was correct. sam v. fox
   By cybrmutt
To quote from the wiki page on "Seduction of The Innocent": Wertham "manipulated, overstated, compromised, and fabricated evidence" in support of the contentions expressed in Seduction of the Innocent. He intentionally mis-projected both the sample size and substance of his research, making it out to be more objective and less anecdotal than it truly was. He generally did not adhere to standards worthy of scientific research, instead using questionable evidence as rhetorical ammunition for his argument that comics were a cultural failure.

This seems like a pretty typical example (for Schomburg, anyway) of a comic book cover from the war years. Can't see what it is about this particular cover that would make anyone think "maybe Wertham was right"... right about WHAT? What about this cover would tend to turn kids into juvenile delinquents? Sam V. Fox's comment just seems vague and non-specific to me, and leaves me scratching my head about what exactly he meant by that.
