Owner's Description

Web of Evil #1 is referenced in Fredric Wertham’s “Seduction of the Innocent” (SOTI) in the text on page 388.

On page 388, Wertham describes a comic story about Hamlet as follows “Scholars will be interested in this new version of Shakespeare’s Hamlet: THE DEATH SCENE (Hamlet Speaking): Fear not, queen mother! It was Laertes and he shall die at my hands! …Alas! I have been poisoned and now I, too, go to join my decease father! I, too – I – AGGGRRRAA!

The Hamlet reference is taken from the story “Rehearsal for Death” contained in Web of Evil #1. It tells the story of Simon Fenton, an aspiring actor, murdering his mentor Jason Worthington. Worthington returns to haunt Fenton ultimately driving him to his death as he rehearses Hamlet’s death scene.
