|title=Seduction of the Innocent
|rating=5
|genre=Crime
|summary=Loosely based on real life events from the 1950s, ''Seduction of the Innocent'' tells a story around a group of comic book publishers, who are being attacked for their product being inappropriate. Here, the ''innocent'' are a generation of young people being corrupted by that material and the ''seduction'' is that practised by the comic books themselves. In both a book he has written and in a Congressional hearing, noted psychiatrist Dr. Werner Frederick claims that comic books are leading their audience into the world of violence, crime and sex depicted in their chosen reading material, which can only be having a negative effect on the individuals and on society as a whole.
