"[Horror comics] swelled with portrayals of marriage and family life as sources of unbearable torment. Married people, especially wives, were invariably duplicitous, conniving, abusive, and often murderous.... The true graveyard was the living room of the American home." — David Hadju, The Ten-Cent Plague: The Great Comic-Book Scare and How It Changed America. FSG: 2008, p. 179.
