Owner's Description

Terrifying Tales #15 is referenced in Fredric Wertham’s “Seduction of the Innocent” (SOTI) in the text on pages 22-23.

On pages 22-23 Wertham describes the following educational content of a comic book “For instance, in a jungle comic book what does the educational page show? This one is entitled ‘The First Americans.’ A young girl in modern evening dress, her wrists chained to a tall upholstered structure so that she leans backward in a recumbent position revealing the full length of her legs, with a definite erotic suggestion, is being menaced with a big knife held by a gruesome masked figure: ‘At harvest and planting time they would cut out the heart of a living victim.’ In other words, the education to sadism permeating this whole book is here fortified in the guise of history”.

The “First Americans” one page story was originally printed in Rulah Jungle Goddess #22 and reprinted in Terrifying Tales #15. Both books are considered SOTI references since its not clear which issue Wertham used.
