Indexer Notes
Another important editorial on the nature of juvenile deliquency and its relationship to comics, as espoused by Frederic Wertham in a recent issue of the 'Saturday Review of Literature'. A reasoned argument is given - presumably by Stan Lee - for the millions of children who read comics but have committed no crime. In another column the titles of all the then-current comics published by Marvel are listed.
