Stephen R Bissette is a veteran of the 1980’s comics censorship wars and he’s lived to tell about it in an important series of articles on his blog illustrated by himself, Frank Miller and others from that period. Here’s the link to part one. Click “Home” to check out the rest of his great blog and read the later chapters.

Finally, Mail it to Team-Up celebrates the foolishness of the day also with a 1984 Marvel story in which Peter Parker’s Aunt May becomes the new herald for Galactus! Seriously!
