So Seductive
German psychiatrist Fredric Wertham was one of the figures who helped to desegregate schools in America, with his studies on the psychological effects of segregation being used in the case against segregation. However, comic book fans probably just know Wertham as the man who published Seduction of the Innocent. In his book, Wertham criticized the violence and suggestive sexual content in comics, ranging from Tales of the Crypt to superhero stories. Wertham’s most famous critique is that the Batman and Robin relationship had homoerotic undertones. Wertham’s book led to the Comic Codes Authority, a new set of laws that banned things such as representations of public figures and any references to cannibalism or the “walking dead.”
