With the revelation that Fredric Wertham lied about comics' effects on kids...
...it seems appropriate to take a look at how his far-reaching deception altered pop culture as we know it!
BTW, most people (myself included) felt that Wertham exaggerated his claims, but altering/modifying evidence to validate his theories went over the line.
This pre-Comics Code tale appeared in Fawcett's Suspense Detective #1 (1952), illustrated by George Evans, but the writer is uncredited.
It seems to be a straightforward tale of mistaken identity and justice served with some violence mixed in, but nothing over-the-top, right?
Not according to the Comics Code Authority!
Be back Thursday to see how the Code altered this story, which they considered too violent!
