The Frederic Wertham Memorial Cover Gallery
Filed under: Imported
For those who don't recognize the name, Dr. Frederic Wertham and his book Seduction of the Innocent helped to destroy three-fourths of the comic book industry in the 1950s, especially the horror genre books. (You can find a very good concise history of the doc and his work here.) Next year will see the 50th birthday of both Wertham's text and yours truly, so to start the celebrations, this blog is adding a new weekly feature: "Horror Sundays". What better way to honor the Sabbath than with some of the goriest comics covers of all time?
To start, here's a classic injury-to-eye favorite from Mister Mystery #12. Enjoy!
