Owner's Description
Jon Juan #1 is referenced in Fredric Wertham’s “Seduction of the Innocent” (SOTI) in the text on page 38.
On page 38, Wertham is discussing how the comic book industry, in response to pressures to reduce crime based comics, began transitioning to love-confession comics in the late 1940s. One such passage reads as follows “Just as some crime comics are especially marked on the cover ‘For Adults Only’ (which of course entices children even more), so some of the love-confession comics are marked ‘Not Intended For Children.” And just as there were supermen, superwomen, superboys and super-ducks, so the industry now supplied a ‘super-lover.’”
Wertham’s use of the term “super-lover” is a reference to Jon Juan #1 as the banner above the title reads “The One and Only Superlover!!”.
