Owner's Description
The promotional comic book “Peter Penny and His Magic Dollar” is referenced in Fredric Wertham’s “Seduction of the Innocent” (SOTI) in the text on pages 310-311.
“Peter Penny and His Magic Dollar” was published by the American Bankers Association in 1947 and told the history and value of banking to the American way of life. Wertham described this comic book as follows “There are publicity comic books to influence adults. Sylvia F. Porter, the financial columnist, writes about a comic book got out by the American Bankers Association: ‘The aim is not just to amuse you. Not by a long shot. It is to mold your thinking in a specific way.’ If that is true of good comic books for bankers, isn’t it true of a bad comic book for children? They mold a child’s thinking in a specific way.”
