Owner's Description
True Love Problems and Advice Illustrated #11 is referenced in Fredric Wertham’s “Seduction of the Innocent” (SOTI) in the text on pages 185-186.
On page 185, Wertham compares love comics to crime comics “Love comics, like crime comics, play up the angle that what they depict is real life. ‘These girls are real people with real problems and real dramatic confessions,’ says a typical issue. What do these ‘real’ girls want? ‘More than anything in the world I want glamour, money, adventure…’ What are their problems? The titles of the stories give the answer:
FALLEN WOMAN
RUNAWAY PASSION!
PRICE OF PRIDE
FORBIDDEN LOVE
MY FOOLISH MISTAKE!
MUST I REVEAL MY PAST?”
True Love Problems and Advice Illustrated #11 contains the stories “Fallen Woman”, “Runaway Passion”, “Price of Pride” and “Forbidden Love”. In addition to listing story titles from this issue, Wertham uses quotes from the stories. For example, on page 186, he provides the following quote from the story Forbidden Love “In crime comics normal sexual life is repressed, whereas violence is shown in detail. In love comics, it is just the reverse. Homicide is usually prevented at the last moment, while fornication is completed: ‘Violent passions smouldered in my heart! I burned with love for a man who could never be mine. In a moment of weakness I surrendered to a tragic impulse and grasped at a forbidden love!”
I have included a scan of the cover page for the Forbidden Love story.
