Abstract
ABSTRACT: This paper asks why comics censorship has reemerged as a significant national phenomenon, and how the current wave of comics censorship compares to earlier such waves, particularly in the 1950s and 1980s. I argue that on one hand, contemporary comics censorship is a new phenomenon in that it focuses on comics which are assigned in schools and read by young readers. To this extent, comics censorship paradoxically testifies to the increased cultural status of comics. At the same time, contemporary comics censorship also relies on the same basic philosophical misconceptions that have always informed comics censorship.
