Mentioned in the text of Dr. Wertham's anti-comics book 'Seduction of the Innocent'(1954)
pp. 98-99: "When I pointed out the hypocrisy of the Crime does not pay slogan and its bad effect on children, the industry accused me of "unfairness" in attacking their highest endeavors and introduced some more slogan morality. In one comic book are two pages by a police captain attacking me: 'Don't let reformers kid you!' He is 'shocked by what I read today about the people who condemn crime comics. These people are the menace.' He goes on: 'Children don't like to be kicked around by reformers who want to decide what's good for them to read.' And he extols 'the strong moral force' that comics exert on children."

Comment:	Thanks for the upgrade, it's very much appreciated. However, I just noticed that page 12 is much smaller than the other pages. Is there a reason for this difference? (It is the same in both versions of the scan)
