Owner's Description
Nyoka The Jungle Girl #26 is referenced in Fredric Wertham’s “Seduction of the Innocent” (SOTI) in the text on page 32.
On page 32 Wertham criticizes the lack of creativity and violence in comic books and uses story examples from Nyoka the Jungle Girl #26 to illustrate his point: “Quite apart from its sadistic groove, the imagination expressed in comic books is mechanical rather than in any way creative. For instance, in a jungle book with the subtitle ‘The Jungle Girl’, the ‘Satanic Dr. Zanzere … transplants a pair of bat’s wings on to a tiger.’ The rest of this book is the usual parade of invitation to sadistic perversion, race hatred and violence for violence’s sake. What about the ‘emotional release’ a child is supposed to get according to the defenders of the comic-book industry? One story concludes with a close-up of a fist holding a gun and these words: ‘A gentle squeeze of the trigger and the last breath of life will be squeezed out of Nyoka! Read on for Part Three of ‘The Treasure of the Tiger’s Paw.’’
Wertham’s “Satanic Dr. Zanzere” reference comes from the two part “Flying Tiger” story contained in Nyoka #26 and his “gentle squeeze of the trigger” reference comes from the three-part “The Treasure of the Tiger’s Paw” also contained in Nyoka #26.
