shiverbones Posted May 4, 2004 Share Posted May 4, 2004 it was mentioned in "Seduction of the Innocent" the book that tried to tie juvenile delinquincy to comic book in the early 50's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PovertyRow Posted May 4, 2004 Share Posted May 4, 2004 SOTI is what? SOTI is a book put out in 1954 by Dr. Frederic Wertham, called Seduction Of The Innocent. It attempted to show that comic books caused juvenile delinquency. Things ended up in a 1955 Senate Sub-Comittee hearing. The hearing determined that, while no direct correlation between juvenile delinquency and comic books had been proven, the comic books of the day were sufficiently violent, sexual, etc. As a result, the Senate advised the comic book publishers to come up with a self-governing code. Those white stamps saying "Approved by the Comics Code" you see on most comic books came out of that. You may also see references to "POP" books. This came out of Parade Of Pleasure, a similar book that also covered other forms of media such as television and magazines in addition to comics.

PovertyRow Posted May 4, 2004 Share Posted May 4, 2004 For my final book of the night I'll move to the year 1940, which for me is the Silver Age. Here's an early, hard-to-find Moldoff: here is something oddly compelling about that woman's face. She has an almost girl next door look combined with just a touch of Hannibal Lechter.

ecfanman Posted May 7, 2004 Share Posted May 7, 2004 This is a recent ebay win. I had a copy of this comic in a small 1950's accumulation I bought decades ago. I sold it back then after I read it as I didn't collect pre-code horror at the time. I regretted selling it years later and have been looking in vain for a copy for the last 5 years. Its a nostalgic trip rereading these stories after all those years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shiverbones Posted May 7, 2004 Share Posted May 7, 2004 great books bonds! That voodoo is great too, some of those ajax/farrell issues can be really hard to turn up. I haven't seen one of those for sale before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tb Posted May 7, 2004 Share Posted May 7, 2004 Nice book, Bonds! Btw., my own copy also has the 3 horiz. white streaks in the blue area (center right) and the one streak in the dark green area (center). This must have been a printing defect or a flaw in the original art - wonder if it is on all copies? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dgillock Posted May 7, 2004 Share Posted May 7, 2004 Picked this up in trade recently. A lower grade copy, but still one of my favorite GA Superman covers: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dgillock Posted May 17, 2004 Share Posted May 17, 2004 This showed up in the mail today: Nothing like kids with machine guns! Very pleased with the copy considering how inexpensive it was. I'm getting dangerously close to completing my "pre-crime" run of Headline Comics (though I know #8's gonna hurt). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kryptonitecomics Posted May 25, 2004 Share Posted May 25, 2004 I know it's not the pretiest copy, but I won this for $8 on Ebay a few weeks ago and I can still appreciate the cover art (Schomberg) Now the question is what can I do to keep it together Nothing is brittle per say, but as you can see there is some chipping on the cover that looks like it could come off at anytime. Should I just leave it in the bag as is or is there something else I could do to preserve it better??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dgillock Posted May 28, 2004 Share Posted May 28, 2004 Nice Black Terror for the price! I'm not so sure that I would do too much playing around with it unless you are just looking to experiment. But, you can buy archival, removable tape at most art or framing stores. If you wanted to try to stablize the spine, that would be a good place to start. Here's what showed up in my mail this morning: Aside from a 1/4" tear on the right edge of the front cover, the book is pretty much spotless. It was sold as a VF- and I paid abut the FN- price. Needless to say that I will continue to watch the seller's auctions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
