Censorship.

I received a comment about censorship of comics from one of my earlier posts. I figured that it would be a good topic to tackle in this one. I do believe that at certain times that parents of young (and not so young children)censor comics that are in my opinion fairly mild. This censorship robs these children of a fantastic and wholesome hobby. Now I know that there are very mature comics out there that kids should not read, but most of those comics are labeled as mature, or sold in specialty shops. I was never censored as a child especially with comic books. I never got my hands on any adult comics when I was younger, but as an adult I have come across some books that children should definitely not read (Most I don't want to even list in this blog). The big three comic publishers , Marvel, DC, and Archie, still adhere to what is called the Comic Code Authority. The Comic Code Authority grades the content of comic books and rates them just like movies do. The point I am trying to make is, if your kids want to read comics check them out first and see if they are acceptable don't just go what others have to say about them.
