Wertham Was Right: The Yearly DB Cooper Reminder
It's not news that the most famous man to ever hijack a plane and then disappear with the ransom money, DB Cooper, was perhaps inspired by the French-language comic series
Dan Cooper -- that's been an item of discussion for at least a few years now. But that theory, and what may be the ultimate proof for the belief that reading comics can inspire you to do bad things
is getting another workout as attention falls on the anniversary of the Cooper affair. Now if someone out there can only unearth an Asterix/Obelix bank-robbing team working in 1970s New Orleans or uncover that Frank Abagnale had a dog named Snowy, we'll be getting somewhere.
