Fredric Wertham

Fredric Wertham was an American psychiatrist and author of Seduction of the Innocent, a 1954 anti-comic book tract that indicated a link between comic books and juvenile delinguency.

Quotations:
"'Comic books are definitely harmful to impressionable people, and most young people are impressionable. . . I think Hitler was a beginner compared to the comic-book industry. . . The time has come to legislate these books off the newsstands and out of the candy stores.'"
