Owner's Description
Fight Comics #48 appears in Gershon Legman’s “Love & Death” (L&D) in the text on page 48.
Legman criticizes comic books for their use of inappropriate sexual symbols and uses an example from Fight Comics to illustrate his point “As to this enormous use of sexual symbols in comic books it is almost useless to speak, except to mention that it is a predictable enough result of censorship: the whales rushing up between the legs of women who go out to fish for minnows (Jumbo Comics #94), the rhinoceros with double horns on his nose coming up at a six-year old girl-child in the crotch (Fight Comics #48)”.
Legman’s rhinoceros horn sexual symbol referenced is taken from the splash page panel of the story “Tiger Girl” contained in Fight Comics #48.
