Too often remembered solely as the psychiatrist and cultural critic whose testimony sparked the creation of the Comics Code, Fredric Wertham was a far more complex man. Bart Beaty traces the evolution of Wertham's attitudes toward popular culture and reassesses his place in the debate about pop culture's effects on youth and society.
