cenzura dot. amerykańskich komiksów lat 50. William M. Gaines i jego „Opowieści z krypty„… E.C. Publications, a później – „Mad„…
Unfortunately, conservative public opinion, still led by the zealot Wertham(*), soon had Gaines defending the indefensible, and not doing it very well. Ultimately called to testify before the 1954 Senate Subcommittee to Investigate Juvenile Delinquency, Gaines was backed into a rather tenuous position:
- Senator Estes Kefauver
[holding up a recent EC title]:
– Here is your May 22 issue. This seems to be a man with a bloody ax holding a woman’s head up which has been severed from her body. Do you think that is in good taste?

That comic book, by the way, stuck in my memory, and twenty years later I tracked it down and bought a copy. It’s Adventures into the Unknown #105, published by the American Comics Group in 1956.

- To paraphrase Mark Twain, a classic is a book everyone’s heard about but no one has read.
At long last, I was able to finally come across a copy of Dr. Frederick Wertham’s „Seduction of the Innocent”.
I’d heard about the book for years, as have most comic-book collectors. Wertham’s name is well-known to most fans with a sense of history; he was one of the most vocal anti-comics forces in the 1950s.
It was Wertham who helped put E.C. out of the horror comics business and who ended the production of „True Crime” style comics… (…)
