Owner's Description
Sensation Comics #81 is referenced in Fredric Wertham’s “Seduction of the Innocent” (SOTI) in the text on pages 33-34.
Wertham used the story “When Treachery Wore a Green Shirt” from Sensation Comics #81 as an example of the negative impact that superheroes, such as Wonder Woman, have on children. He described the story as follows “This Superman-Batman-Wonder Woman group is a special form of crime comics. The gun advertisements are elaborate and realistic. In one story a foreign looking scientist starts a green shirt movement. Several boys told me that they thought he looked like Einstein. No person and no democratic agency can stop him. It requires the female superman, Wonder Woman. One picture shows the scientist addressing a public meeting: ‘So, my fellow Americans, it is time to give American back to Americans! Don’t let foreigners take your jobs!’ Member of the audience: ‘He’s right!’ Another, applauding: ‘YEAHHHH!’ Wertham went on to describe that superman type comics create fascist ideals for children.
I have attached a scan of the page that contains the panel that Wertham references from Sensation Comics #81.
