Dr. Werthless is “Brutal, beautiful, and brilliant.”--Matt Fraction
“...an indispensable look at American history and the battle against censorship.” —David Walker (Bitter Root, The Black Panther Party: A Graphic Novel History)
"Refreshingly, the authors avoid painting Wertham as the one-note villain he’s popularly held to be by exploring aspects of his personality and career unrelated to his campaign against comic books, such as his commitment to civil rights, efforts to end segregation, and role in founding one of the first low-cost mental health care facilities in the United States. This results in a rich, layered portrait of a man commonly viewed as a villain." -- Thomas Batten, Library Journal
