 | Lawbreakers Always Lose | 7 | Illo #3 with caption, "Comic-book philosophy." |  |

 | Strange Worlds | 2 | Mentioned in text, p. 112. Injury-to-the-eye motif. |  |
| Super Duck | 22 | Mentioned in text, pp. 35, 307, 308. This is a perfect example of Wertham's hypocrisy. On page 28, Super Duck is called without sarcasm one of the "harmlesss ones". Then on pages 35 and 307-308, he cites its harmful content. |
 | Superboy | 2 | Mentioned in text, pp. 35-36, 226 |  |

| X-Mas Comics | 6 | One online resource says this contains a rebound Captain Video #1 and #2. Another online resource indicates that this was printed concurrently with the books contained in it, and it is not a rebinding of other books. Either way, this book contains Captain Video #2 and is therefore a SOTI book. |
 | Your United States | nn | Mentioned in text, pp. 309, 310. This book had several versions, although only one is mentioned in Overstreet. Read about it here. |  |
