Owner's Description
While not yet recognized by Overstreet, Batman #67 is referenced in Fredric Wertham’s “Seduction of the Innocent” (SOTI) in the text on pages 190-191 (refer to the website www.lostsoti.org for more details on this SOTI reference).
Chapter VII of the SOTI examines the effect comics book have on the “psycho-sexual development of children”. As a part of his analysis, Wertham provides several examples of the homoerotic nature of Batman and Robin stories and provides the following description of one such story “Like the girls in other stories, Robin is sometimes held captive by the villains and Batman has to give in or ‘Robin gets killed.’” Batman #67, as shown in the attached scan, contains the exact story and quote that Wertham describes on pages 190-191 of the SOTI.
