Über diesen Titel

 What says "POW", "WHACK", and "ZAP"? What features flamboyantly dressed men having fantastical adventures? What has blood and guts? What thrives on horror, thrilling romances, and daring fight scenes? If you answered "classic comics", you would be right! ... Or would you?

In this week's episode, we dive into the history of the Comics Code Authority and how its iron grip of censorship shook the world of North American comics. Oh, and did we mention that gay characters were censored under this act, too? Because they were.
