Owner's Description

Gang Busters #3 is referenced in Fredric Wertham’s “Seduction of the Innocent” (SOTI) as illustration #27 with the caption “Comic-book map for crime”. From Wertham’s perspective, crime comic books contributed to juvenile delinquency by depicting techniques that criminals use to perpetrate crimes. In the illustrations section of the SOTI, Wertham lists several examples of the ways that crime comic books advance “knowledge of technique”. His examples include techniques that can be used to create crime planning maps, construct an alibi or diagram a housebreaking. A story in Gang Busters #3 contains the crime planning map that Wertham references as illustration #27 in the SOTI.
