Owner's Description
Black Cat #27 is referenced in Fredric Wertham’s “Seduction of the Innocent” (SOTI) in the text on page 193.
Wertham considered superwoman based stories as innately anti-male and lesbian and cited several examples from Wonder Woman and Black Cat on page 193. With regards to Black Cat, he describes the following “In the Black Cat stories, the superwoman in ordinary life is a young girl like any other. But when she goes into action, she is ‘Black Cat’ and has donned a sort of Superman uniform. In a story called ‘Mr. Zero and the Juvenile Delinquent’ a little boy is mercilessly beaten and is about to be kicked, as he lies helplessly on the floor, when Black Cat intervenes. On an educational page in the same book she gives good advice for violence as instruction for self-defense: ‘Swing the upper part of your body forward while slamming the edge of your left hand against his larynx. The impact will knock him down.’ At least!”
These examples come from Black Cat #27. I have included a scan of the panel containing the boy being “mercilessly beaten” as described by Wertham.
