Owner's Description

Real Life Comics #58 is referenced in the “Seduction of the Innocent” (SOTI) in the text on page 310.

On page 310, Wertham describes a comic as follows “Here is another comic book dealing with history and education, especially sent to me as a shining example. It has a feature about the Olympic games: ‘The Olympic games were the greatest sporting event in the ancient world. But any ladies caught watching them were thrown over a cliff.” Here I have gone all these years without knowing that! And lest the child miss the point, an illustration shows it: A well-developed girl with the same coy expression of alarm runs along a steep cliff hotly pursued by a he-man in a helmet. Another item for the child’s information is that there was ‘fixing’ in the Olympic games. One could call this the contemporary approach to ancient history.”

This description and quotes match up with the ½ page story “Olympic Oddities” contained in Real Life Comics #58.
