Owner's Description

Journey into Fear #15 is referenced in Fredric Wertham’s “Seduction of the Innocent” (SOTI) in the text on page 389.

On page 389 Wertham describes several examples of comic book stories that he finds to be distasteful and provides an example from Journey into Fear #15 “The stories of murder go from the simple through the gruesome to the weird. One man kills his wife with a poker, another shoots a wolf which is his wife”. The reference of the man shooting a wolf that turns out to be his wife comes from the story “Her Lips Dripped in Blood” contain in Journey into Fear #15. I have included a scan of the panel showing the man shooting his wife turned werewolf.
