Yes, it's horrible. I've heard other horrible CBLDF stories in the same vein. Basically, even though the book itself passed into obscurity in the mainstream, the crazy theories and assumptions put forth in "Seduction of the Innocent" by Frank Wertham are alive and well. That book starts out somewhat normal, and then by the end of it Wertham stands firmly in cold-war crazytown-population him.
Also, bit of 6 degrees here: "Look through your comic book collection. Do you have Alan Moore’s “Lost Girls”? Any of S. Clay Wilson’s Underground Comix? Even Neil Gaiman’s “Sandman” series? If the prosecution of manga collector Christopher Handley sticks, all of that and more could be considered obscene, Gaiman told MTV."
S. Clay Wilson is Lorraine's (my mom's best friend from her crazy days) long term boyfriend. He's actually in the hospital right now, maybe I told you?
