HORROR / CRIME / VIOLENT VIOLENCE - PRE-CODE - GOLDEN AGE COMICS COMIC BOOKS
I have attempted to have a complete photo gallery of every comic of the Horror & Crime & Sci-fi/Fantasy & violent comic
There are exceptions as I have not included any comics that are Superhero, Jungle, Western genre even those can include violence.
I have also not included any crime or sci-fi titles that focus on specific characters such as Dick Tracy, Sherlock Holmes, The Spirit, Buck Rogers, Tom Corbett etc.
Many of these books are now highly collected and extremely rare. Many of these books were featured in the book SOTI (Seduction Of The Innocent) which led to the banning of violent comics in 1954 and starting the Comics Code Authority whereas all books 1955 onward had to have a stamp of approval.
Seduction of the Innocent is a book by German-born American psychiatrist Fredric Wertham, published in 1954, that warned that comic books were a negative form of popular literature and a serious cause of juvenile delinquency. The book was taken seriously at the time in the United States, and was a minor bestseller that created alarm in American parents and galvanized them to campaign for censorship. At the same time, a U.S. Congressional inquiry was launched into the comic book industry. Subsequent to the publication of Seduction of the Innocent, the Comics Code Authority was voluntarily established by publishers to self-censor their titles. In the decades since the book's publication, Wertham's research has been disputed by scholars.

HORROR / CRIME / VIOLENT VIOLENCE - PRE-CODE - GOLDEN AGE COMICS COMIC BOOKS
I have attempted to have a complete photo gallery of every comic of the Horror & Crime & Sci-fi/Fantasy & violent comic
There are exceptions as I have not included any comics that are Superhero, Jungle, Western genre even those can include violence.
I have also not included any crime or sci-fi titles that focus on specific characters such as Dick Tracy, Sherlock Holmes, The Spirit, Buck Rogers, Tom Corbett etc.
Many of these books are now highly collected and extremely rare. Many of these books were featured in the book SOTI (Seduction Of The Innocent) which led to the banning of violent comics in 1954 and starting the Comics Code Authority whereas all books 1955 onward had to have a stamp of approval.
Seduction of the Innocent is a book by German-born American psychiatrist Fredric Wertham, published in 1954, that warned that comic books were a negative form of popular literature and a serious cause of juvenile delinquency. The book was taken seriously at the time in the United States, and was a minor bestseller that created alarm in American parents and galvanized them to campaign for censorship. At the same time, a U.S. Congressional inquiry was launched into the comic book industry. Subsequent to the publication of Seduction of the Innocent, the Comics Code Authority was voluntarily established by publishers to self-censor their titles. In the decades since the book's publication, Wertham's research has been disputed by scholars.
