eccomic Posted September 30, 2022 Share Posted September 30, 2022 For your consideration the first edition of Frederic Wertham's Dark Legend Unrestored with original dustjacket See below article Asking $125.00 Shipped to Canada and the USA via Paypal or cheque and 14 day return policy https://www.lambiek.net/comics/wertham_fredric.htm?fbclid=IwAR0b-pw0rX2HFWZUeASTSOrVKy_5pMDFAFpHcA9rEWX3MPrw1nFGS2QQlOw Particularly the following "Theories about comics Wertham focused on the influence of culture and environment on criminal behavior, resulting in the book 'Dark Legend' (1941), about the true story of a 17-year-old who killed his mother. Dr. Wertham noted how the boy lived in a fantasy world, influenced by movies, radio plays and comic books. This was the first time Wertham linked comics to crime, and in his following work he developed this thought even further. His theories parallelled a rise of more violent comic books" Larryw7 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
