Owner's Description

Western Bandit Trails #1 is referenced in Fredric Wertham’s the “Seduction of the Innocent” (SOTI) in the text on page 161. On page 161, Wertham describes a comic as follows “The very title of some stories makes it clear that there is a lesson in the story, and what the lesson is. For example: ‘Lessons For Larceny’, with a sub-title ‘Watch for Trouble when a Swindle Backfires’”. This text-based story is contained in Western Bandit Trails #1 published by St. John Publication on 1/1949. It’s also contained in Authentic Police Cases #3, published by St. John Publication on 8/1948. Wertham did not identify the specific comic that he is referencing so both are considered SOTI references. Also of note, Wertham slightly misquotes the referenced story, the tile is “Lessons In Larceny” not “Lessons For Larceny”.
