Notes: The editors of Shock Suspense try and make the case that their comics, which are under fire by certain do-gooders, do not have a bad influence on young readers, and cite many professionals that agree. Readers are asked to write letters to the Senate Sub-Committee on Juvenile Delinquency that is holding hearings on the matter and make their feelings known.
