Comics in the 1930s and 1940s were considered in many ways an extension of the pulp magazines of the early 20th century, and in addition to costumed superheroes and men of mystery, also included crime stories, epic fantasies, and adventurers.
Wertham claimed that comics glorified violence and were the source of moral decline in America's youth, not to mention "sexually aggressive in an abnormal way." His most damning claim, however, was that "comic book reading was a distinct influencing factor in the case of every single delinquent or disturbed child" he had studied.
However, despite a surge in public interest stories slamming comics, and parental uproar, the industry itself was not largely affected, and continued to churn out crime and horror comics By 1953 over 500 comic books could be found on the market and comics sold 60 million copies a month.
