Owner's Description

Witches Tales #20 is referenced in Fredric Wertham’s “Seduction of the Innocent” (SOTI) in the text on page 389.

On page 389, Wertham is listing murder story examples and notes the following “The stories of murder go from the simple through the gruesome to the weird. One man kills with wife with a poker, another shoots a wolf which is his wife, a third becomes transformed into a huge crab and eats her”. The example of a man killing his wife with a poker comes from the story “Shock!” contained in Witches Tales #20. In this story an old man becomes suspicious of his young wife and ultimately murders her with a poker only to find that his suspicions were misplaced.
