>>6756754yeah, well, funnily enough the comics code was implemented exactly because comic books were essentially kids books and you couldn't have kids seeing pictures of heroes blowing dudes' heads away because that's not kid friendly.
that's pretty weird now that i think about it since stories and myths and legends pretty much always included people being killed by the hero. reading about it some more it seems that that move was dictated by the 50s equivalent of the crowd that used to whine about vidya games causing violence.
