    What Parents Don't Know About Comic Books" (Baptist General Convention of Texas, 1953). Large-size tabloid publication that was given out by Dr. Fredric Wertham in the course of his anti-comics lecture tours in 1953/54. It reprints Wertham's Ladies' Home Journal article, which in turn excerpted a sizeable chunk of his infamous book Seduction of the Innocent. A bunch of illustrations from the book are reproduced here as well. The booklet is certainly RARE. It is eight pages in length while measuring approximately 11.5-in. x 13.5-in.
