Owner's Description
Jungle Comics #98 is referenced in the “Seduction of the Innocent” (SOTI) a book published by psychiatrist Fredric Wertham in 1954. A panel from the comic is referenced in SOTI illustrations #18 and #19. According to Wertham, the panel depicts a sexual reference in the form of a women’s nude body that is hidden in the drawing of a man’s shoulder in the panel. Wertham’s caption under the illustrations reads as follows: “In ordinary comic books, there are pictures within pictures for children who know how to look.” In addition to the illustrations, Jungle Comics #98 is referenced in the SOTI text on page 185 as follows: “Some of the ordinary comic books have illustrations revealing crude sexual details if you look at them in a certain way. The shoulder of a man with a red scarf around his neck shows a girl’s nude body. This is so clear that it can induce the immature reader to look for such things and stir him up sexually.” I have included a scan of the page from Jungle Comics #98 that contains the panel with the alleged sexual reference.
