Wertham, Fredric (1895-1981). Seduction of the Innocent. New York: Rinehart & Company, 1954. 

     The classic study of the baleful infuence of comic books on kids that resulted in the demise of EC comics, the inauguration of the Comics Code, and sixty years of debate. This is the second printing, issued without the bibliographic page. A very good copy in a chipped dustwrapper with fading to spine panel.  An important landmark of American popular culture.
