You can’t go through the history of comic book in America without seeing the huge distorting effect of Dr. Frederic Werthem had on comic books in the 1950s. It took almost 30 years before mature subjects made it back into mainstream comics. The Library of Congress has opened up a 222 containers from Dr. Werthem. These documents had previously only been available to approved people from the estate. But now it’s open to all. I’m looking forward to seeing what nuggets of information come out from this.
