Fredric Wertham and the Critique of Mass Culture
Bart Beaty
Too often remembered solely as the psychiatrist and cultural critic whose testimony sparked the creation of the Comics Code, Fredric Wertham was a far more complex man. Bart Beaty traces the evolution of Wertham's attitudes toward popular culture and reassesses his place in the debate about pop culture's effects on youth and society.
