"Bender was interested in for many years: comics, and their effect on children. "

I want to access these actual materials. I think they'd have a huge amount of dirt.

Including "SUB-SERIES 3: TELEVISION AND MOVIES, 1940-1955. " (remind you all of anything?)

"Much of this is early material, predating her acquaintance with Schilder which commenced, according to her autobiography, in 1930. There are three handwritten notebooks in German, the first of which is dated 1926, and papers contained in these notebooks have been removed, unfolded, and placed in folders. Typed and handwritten correspondence and memos in both German and English, dating from 1928 through 1940" --- I want to be able to see what these say

Funny they mention 2 "controversies" neither of which seem to be chiefly in reference to drugging children with LSD and Electroshocking them.

SUB-SERIES 1: THE FATHER DIVINE CONTROVERSY, 1935-1944 SUB-SERIES 2: THE BENDER-GESTALT CONTROVERSY, 1945-196 The controversies series consists of documents concerning two professional issues in which Bender became embroiled. Sub-Series 1 relates to an article Bender published in The Journal of Nervous and Mental Diseases. Although the article is not named in any of the related correspondence which dates from 1935, the only article published by Bender in that journal near that time is "Psychiatric Mechanisms in Child Murderers," published in volume 80 of the journal in 1934, so that correspondence in the following year would seem to be on target. The correspondence is from researchers interested in Bender's findings, and from followers of Father Divine, interested in defending him and his followers from Bender's allegations. There are also clippings from issues of Divine's magazine, The New Day, ranging from 1940-1944.

Sub-Series 2, the Bender-Gestalt Dispute, records Bender's successful fight against infringement of her copyright for the Bender Visual Motor Gestalt Test (popularly known as the Bender-Gestalt Test) which she developed and reported in 1938. The bulk of the records fall in 1960-1962, when Bender engaged attorneys Hutt and Gerald J. Briskin, entitled, The Clinical Use of the Revised Bender Gestalt Test. In letters on the subject dated November 9, 1960, Bender gives some of the most salient history on the matter, alluding to difficulties with Hutt that went back to 1945. Copies of that early correspondence are included in the file. The case was resolved on June 30, 1962, with the signing of a stipulation that the book would carry statements essentially dictated by Bender's attorneys.

Regarding comics: Marvel comics are all about MKULTRA/Mind Control. The movies all show different aspects of Gov't r&d to create super soldiers, etc. Makes me wonder if Stan Lee is trying to warn us or if he's a propaganda machine.
