Owner's Description

Crime and Punishment #3 is referenced in Fredric Wertham’s “Seduction of the Innocent” (SOTI) in the text on page 112. Throughout the SOTI, Wertham often cites the injury-to-the-eye motif as an “outstanding example of the brutal attitude cultivated in comic books”. In the text on page 112, he references one such example from a story contained in Crime and Punishment #3: “In a run-of-the-mill crime comic a man with brass knuckles hits another man (held fast by a third man) in the eyes, one after the other. Dialogue: ‘Now his other glimmer, Pete! Only sort of twist the knuckles this time!’”The example cited by Wertham comes from the story “Joe Bologna” contained in Crime and Punishment 3. I have included a scan of the injury-to-the-eye panel (upper right) that Wertham references on page 112.
