Beschreibung:

CGC certified: NM- (9.2). Off-white to white pages. No story or art credits. 16pp. According to Overstreet: "Drug education comic (30,000 printed?), distributed to schools. Many copies surfaced in 1979 causing a setback in price; beware of trimmed edges, because many copies have a brittle edge." Used in SEDUCTION OF THE INNOCENT, pp. 256, 350. GPAnalysis: No recorded sales in this grade. A 9.6 sold for $289 in 2013. Dr. Wertham seethed over New York governor Dewey's approval of this anti-drug freebie: "When Columbia University Press published its educational comic book 'Trapped' which deals with juvenile drug-addiction, Governor Dewey stated: 'It is a superb job. I hope millions of copies are distributed.' ...If the governor thinks that a single 'good' comic book can do so much good, should he not have refrained from interfering with the democratic will of the parliamentary majority which believed that hundreds of millions of bad comic books can do so much harm?" A limited edition of 150 softcover and 15 hardcover catalogues is available. 400 lots, fully illustrated. Fun reference, great keepsake. Softcover $30, deluxe hardcover with dust jacket and limitation plate $200. Ten of the 15 hardcovers are pre-ordered and the rest will go quickly, so reserve yours now.
