Comics and Censorship
Once upon a time in a land not so far away, the Comics Code Authority regulated and censored the content that comic books produced. There was what the industry considered “The War on Comics” and it resulted in books being canceled, and a seal of approval being required for anything that went to print. We then move to a time of book burnings, something that could be dated back to any point in societal conscious memory. Whether it be the actual content created or what society deems appropriate, censorship has always existed. Unfortunately we are returning to a time where censorship is a problem.
