Book
Subversion in the Swamp: Pogo and the Folk in the McCarthy Era
Wertham's book is a fascinating document in its own right; although designed as a study of the comics' impact on the adolescent psyche by an acclaimed clinical psychologist, its close readings of comic book texts and attention to the social relations implied by those texts make it a sort of bizarro-world version of contemporary cultural studies. When Wertham identifies Superman as a fascist, he is drawing attention to a crucial paradox in the Man of Steel's character that would later be recognized and used by Michael Chabon in The Amazing Adventures of Kavalier & Clay, and by comic book writers such as Frank Miller and the creators of the graphic novel Kingdom Come.
