Owner's Description

For a Night of Love #nn is referenced in Fredric Wertham’s “Seduction of the Innocent” (SOTI) in the text on page 185.

On page 185, Wertham describes love comics as follows “Love comics do harm in the sphere of taste, esthetics, ethics and human relations. The plots are stereotyped, banal, cheap. Whereas in crime comics the situation is boy meets girl, boy beats girl; in love comics it is boy meets girl, boy cheats girl – or vice versa. Adolescent girls are not helped by this bit from a love comic: ‘How long can a beautiful woman wait for love? Is it a crime to take passion where it is found – regardless of mocking faithfulness? (For the thrilling answer see page 17.)’”.

Wertham’s passage on love comics quotes from the book “For a Night of Love”. This comic was published by Avon in 1951as a one-shot issue without a number. The quote comes from the inside of the front cover description of the story “The Loves of Felicie”.
