Seduction of the Innocent--Prelude

The thesis for my final reaserch paper this year is on the Great Comic Scare of the 1940-50's and how it has affected comics today. As such, I had to get my hands on a copy of Seduction of the Innocent, the book that started the scare and basically nearly killed comics. 

Man, is this one heck of a book. I opened it up to the table of contents, and someone had written "This book is a fabrication and a lie--be forewarned." 

So, apparently there will be book-sized dents in my walls from when I go into a fit of rage at it and chuck it as far away as possible. Wonderful.

More updates on this project as I finish it.
