Interesting. I hadn't explicitly connected the suppression of the comics in the 50s with the reaction to the 60s countercultures and the "culture wars" that have continued through today.
I'm going to have to check this out.

Bart Beaty has taken more than a little umbrage at the portrayal of Wertham in The Ten-Cent Plague.

And a bit on his objections here:
