Softcover. London, Hard Case Crime, 1st thus, 2013, Book: Very Good, Dust Jacket: None, Softcover, colorful wraps with a retro-style illustration by Glen Orbik. COMIC BOOKS ARECORRUPTING AMERICA'S YOUTH! Or so the esteemed Dr. Werner Frederick would have people believe--people like the Congressmen holding hearings on banning violent crime and horror "funny books." And when the crusade provokes a most un-funny murder, Jack Starr--comics syndicate troubleshooter--has no shortage of suspects. Was it the knife-wielding juvenile delinquent or the naked seductress? Perhaps a frustrated publisher or an outraged cartoonist. Or was it a comic book reader...?Inspired by the real-life 1950s witch-hunt against Tales From the Crypt publisher EC Comics, SEDUCTION OF THE INNOCENT pulls back the curtain for an insider's view of the history of comics--and features more than a dozen brand new illustrations in the classic EC style by comic book legend Terry Beatty.
