10 Comic Books Deemed Too Hot to Handle
10 Comic Books Deemed Too Hot to Handle The name of the 1954 book by psychologist Fredric Wertham's Seduction of the Innocent. It wasn't a love story or an erotic thriller, either. He argued that it was an exposé of a product harmful to young people's mental health worldwide. Those violent and suggestive comic comics were his preferred target audience. He asserted that by exposing their young readers to violence and sex, these scandalous journals fostered misbehaviour. He bent facts and other data to match his idea when they contradicted it. Although his accusations were absurd, his assertions concerned parents, educators, and politicians. Publishers started to filter their titles so that the contents would be deemed acceptable by the Comics Code Authority (CCA), which was established in 1954 by the Comics Magazine Association of America, and they also contributed to the comic book industry's voluntary self-policing. Surprisingly, some publishers, including the biggest and best-known in the business—Marvel Comics and DC Comics—continued to censor their own works even after publishers voluntarily withdrew from the censorship programme. These 10 comics were thought to be too hot to handle. They were consequently censored by their own publishers.

The cycle shall continue.

Roman Soldier
He had a picture of Mercedes in his hand. She, a national symbol of the Ukrainian woman every young soldier wanted to marry and start a family with in the countryside. Yet she’d been taken away from the electro night clubs filled with house music and used to gain information on a Russian Mail Order bride site. Only the tale of her rescue spread across the frontline with soldiers facing each other, and the risk of coronavirus; the reason their mouths were covered with facemasks.
