Excerpt from Juvenile Delinquency (Comic Books): Hearings Before the Subcommittee to Investigate Juvenile Delinquency of the Committee on the Judiciary, United States Senate, Eighty-Third Congress, Second Session, Pursuant to S. 190
Now, I would like, for the purpose of illustration, to relate very briefly in summary fashion 6 stories, together with pictures illustrating these 6 stories which will give you a sampling of the type of comic books that we are talking about here.
Now, in presenting these I would like to say that while it is not a random sampling actually it is a deliberate sampling in trying to present the various types of stories and pictures that appear.
These are not typical, rather they are quite typical of the stories and pictures which appear in this type of publication. The first such crime comic is entitled Black Magic.
This is a picture showing the cover or title page of this comic. Now, one story in this comic is entitled Sanctuary, and the cover shots relate to this particular story.
