Description
Summary:Comic books remain an attractive target for the would-be censor. Decades after the underground comix movement redefined traditional notions of what comic books can look like or address, and at a time when most comic books in America ("mainstream" or otherwise) are purchased and read by adults, comics are still perceived by the general public as cheap juvenile entertainment. The popular notion that they are designed for kids makes comic books particularly vulnerable to attack by those who would handcuff the arts in the name of "protecting the children."
