Comics like all of these are published nowadays, and ones way worse, more graphic, more everything. I don't pay attention to modern mainstream type marvel and dc stuff, but go look at independent comics, comics published by fantagraphics and other small publishers and self published comics. If Wertham thought comics in the 40s and 50s were bad, his head would explode nowadays.

I thought that they didn't publish "bondage covers" and that is why it was on the label of golden age

But I'm a noob in that area

I can't verify if true or not but i heard that Speedy Gonzales is not politically correct anymore and can't even be shown on tv anymore

if this is true then of course the comic could never be published again....

I'm Mexican and every Mexican that I know in my age range loves Speedy Gonzales. Is it racist and use stereotypes? Yes. 

Don't care. LULAC supports Speedy and so do I. SJW's be d here's the wiki: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Speedy_Gonzales

EDIT: FYI LULAC is the Latino/Mexican version of NAACP. Upvote if you learned something new today!

I'm shocked this one was published as recently as it was on a book from the big 2.

Seriously speaking, I can't think of any covers that haven't already been covered (Well, maybe the DC Blackhawk covers with the character Chop Chop on it), but you'll definitely never see any more back covers or ads for live pets, Daisy BB guns, or non-PC products.

....and if the moderation haircut is anything to go by, there are clearly some books that can't be posted today either!

So is the consensus that it’s good that certain images are no longer published or the oppposite

We can do without the unflattering, demonising, ethnic / national stereotypes, to begin with.

Yep, it's like watching old movies. Times change very quickly, but very much for the better in most cases. I posted the ASM 583 variants, and they got pulled due to the political aspect I guess. Still, rules are rules....

[jsilverjanet]

That's a recent change. I know that book has been discussed before and many here claiming the the bias of CGC for allowing discussion/posting of the book vs our more recent... um well you get the point. I guess moderation decided that it can be considered political.

Of course, but these old comics with blatantly racist, sexist, and jingoistic covers and stories are a stark reminder about the culture of past times in which they were published.  Ugly material, but historically important nonetheless.

Some books just carry sensitive topics that are offending to others and throuought the years we saw time and time again the publishers change and adapt to the census. 

Today it's politically correctness. Yesterday it was SOTI

Sometimes it's just a book that came out at the wrong time with the wrong content. Like Adventures of superman 596 that came out the day after 9/11 and was speculated by DC it would offend many that it was pulled off the shelves.

Imagine if this book came out the day of the Las Vegas shooting?
