Owner's Description

Batman #53 is referenced in Fredric Wertham’s “Seduction of the Innocent” (SOTI) in the text on page 236.

On page 236, Wertham describes a comic as follows “In vain does one look in comic books for seeds of constructive work or of ordinary home life. I have never seen in any of the crime, superman, adventure, space, horror, etc., comic books a normal family sitting down at a meal. I have seen an elaborate, charming breakfast scene, but it was between Batman and his boy, complete with checkered tablecloth, milk, cereal, fruit juice, dressing-gown and newspaper”.

The Batman breakfast scene comes from a panel in the story "A Hairpin, a Hoe, a Hacksaw, a Hole in the Ground!" contained in Batman 53.
