A TALE TO HOLD YOU IN SUSPENSE! THE RAVING MANIAC!

The following tale was STAN LEE's way of dismissing

FREDRIC WERTHAM's 'crusade' against comicbooks.  Not

the carton, but rather the content of some of them, which, read

in the context of the times, probably were a concern for a lot of

parents.  Of course, Wertham may have over-egged the pudding,

but I don't think diminishing him by suggesting he was mentally

unbalanced was the best way of addressing his point of view.

However, it's an entertaining tale, so read and enjoy.
