| | Comic Book Industry BlundersWritten by Dave Gieber
Continued from page 1
With this wildly irrational attack on comic book industry and many congressional leaders jumping on bandwagon, comic books were gaining a bad reputation. The comic book industry publishers at this point, could have banded together and declared that comic books, like movies, were not "just for kids". It should have been stated that wide range of comic book genres represented was target to as wide a range of readers. All but one of publishers (William Gaines, publisher of EC Comics) buckled under to this Congressional Investigation and Comic Code Authority was created. This governed content of comic books and ensured that for next 15 years or so, literary content would not rise much above that of pablum for mind. Therefore another slide into incredibility for comic book industry took place. Can comic book industry be saved? Very possibly, but when individuals in charge of saving are as eager as ever to make same mistakes all over again, what will outcome be? They don't even appear to be cleaver enough to make new mistakes.
