Does the title of this episode shock you? Good! Now that we’ve got your attention, this week’s episode is about banned comics, or attempted-banned comics, or how exactly we got into this situation in the first place. All that, and a Comics Code Authority quiz!
But wait, there’s more! We dig up the corpses of some Golden Age characters who didn’t make it out of the Golden Age, because they were bad, and then point and laugh at them! Y’know, for kids!
