Britain's horror-comic scare of the 1950s

BBC Scotland has an article about how horror comics from EC like Tales from the Crypt and The Vault of Horror led to a panic and strict censorship enforcement in the UK during the 1950s, something that almost makes the controversy over the same items in America during that time look very tame by comparison.

About me

  • I'm Avi Green
  • From Jerusalem, Israel
  • I was born in Pennsylvania in 1974, and moved to Israel in 1983. I also enjoyed reading a lot of comics when I was young, the first being Fantastic Four. I maintain a strong belief in the public's right to knowledge and accuracy in facts. I like to think of myself as a conservative-style version of Clark Kent. I don't expect to be perfect at the job, but I do my best.
