General Description:
Decades ago, right after the golden age of comic books had reached its
peak of popularity, this medium would face an obstacle that threatened its
livelihood and almost eradicated the entire industry. This obstacle came in
the form of the Comics Code of 1954, a mass censorship which deemed
a grand majority of content unacceptable for production. Crime fighting,
as well as adventure comics that were once considered fun stories, were
now seen as inappropriate and had to be modified. The reasoning or
combination of reasons as to why this code was established and why it
was so strict is not well known. Nevertheless, the effects of this censorship
were strongly felt by the artists of the decade seemingly threatening to
eradicate the industry. As a response to this setback in the comic book
world, artists felt an urgent need to express their ideas with no backlash.
Comic book artists must have seen an opportunity because seemingly out
of nowhere comic books began production again through a realm they
would have never imagined. The helping hand that would allow artists to
re-enter themselves in the comic book industry would be coming from the
helping hands of the rebellious punk rock movement. However, one must
question how comic books and punk rock intertwined. The answer to these
questions can be considered lost pieces of a long and complex history that
needs to be scrutinized and re-assembled.
