comic book censorship

Comic book censorship involves the restriction or alteration of content within comics to comply with societal standards, legal regulations, or publisher policies. This can include omitting or modifying violence, language, or mature themes to make comics suitable for certain audiences or to prevent offense. Censorship often reflects cultural values and can vary by time, place, or publisher, raising ongoing debates about artistic freedom versus societal norms. It aims to balance creative expression with responsibility and audience protection, shaping how stories are presented and received.
