Sunday Brunch: 1/23/10
WHITHER THE COMICS CODE? So DC and Archie, the last bastions of the Comics Code Authority, have dropped the seal’s use entirely. Which begs the question, hopefully for an actual comics journalist to answer: Who was the Comics Code Authority? Where was this self-governing body headquartered, who was on it, and what will they do now? As something that’s existed for something like 60 years, you’d think we’d know more about it. Sure, we know what created it, but how has it been maintained these many years? What caused its complete loss of power (the direct market, I presume)? How will it be remembered?

Comics You Should Own flashback – Automatic Kafka
Let’s update another old post in this series. This is the first one I wrote for PopCultureShock, which means it’s been gone from the Internet for quite some time. Yes, I’m starting to update the dead links in the archives. Huzzah! (Plus, there are SPOILERS below. Oh, and nudity. You’ve been warned!)
