Wordy Words on WordsI love Tales From the Crypt. I have for my entire life ever since I saw the Crypt Keeper bust out of a coffin the HBO series being rerun on the USA network (ah, memories).<br> <br> Later I found out they made junior novelizations of stories featured in even older comic books.<br> <br> Those books…<br> <br> Listen: people really latched onto fairy tales but I missed that boat. I wasn’t raised with actual morality tales with violent repercussions of missteps - I was raised on Disney.<br> <br> So a comic series that had moral lessons framed in horror where people got their just desserts was… well, it was awesome.<br> <br> And I think if people wanted to try to trace back my love of philosophy and ethics, it would start right there with TFtC.<br> <br> It was also a really interesting part in comic book history because it basically inspired the witch hunt from lazy parents looking to blame an external source for their kids being dickheads. Which led to *shudder* Silver Age comics. Goofy stuff.<br> <br> Anyway, I guess they rebooted the TFtC comic and I was really excited to read it.<br> <br> But then I read it.<br> <br> Yeesh.<br> <br> I don’t know what’s so hard about morality tales. Almost every story feels more like it belonged in Mad Magazine, not a horror comic.<br> <br> There is one exception. One story that actually had teeth, but it was a weird duck.<br> <br> The premise was that a guy was being tormented over and over in the afterlife because (it turns out) he was a suicide bomber and the victims in the bus he blew up get to deal with him for eternity.<br> <br> So I guess the moral is don’t blow up a bus - or at least not while you’re in it as well.<br> <br> As much as I love TFtC, this feels like a big swing and a miss.<br> <br> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/books?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#books</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/bookrecommendation?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#bookrecommendation</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/booktok?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#booktok</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/bookstagram?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#bookstagram</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/bookstagrammer?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#bookstagrammer</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/booksky?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#booksky</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/readersofpixelfed?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#readersofpixelfed</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/read?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#read</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/readinglog?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#readinglog</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/talesfromthecrypt?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#talesfromthecrypt</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/horror?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#horror</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/horrorcomic?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#horrorcomic</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/horrorbook?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#horrorbook</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/ECcomics?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ECcomics</a>

Of Bookish Things<p>Way back in the 1950s, there were people in America banning books and censoring comic books to keep children safe. That was what life was like in the middle of the last century. 🧐 </p><p>Very Objectionable: Supernatural &amp; &quot;Sexy Implications&quot; of Ghost Comics</p><p>Early 1950s Fiction House series Ghost Comics rivals even EC Comics for horror, suspense, and adult situations in the pre-Code comics era.</p><p>In June 1953, an organization calling itself The Committee on Evaluation of Comic Books, which claimed to have 84 &quot;trained reviewers&quot;, evaluated 418 comic book titles which were then available on the newsstands of America. These reviewers placed the output of American comic book publishers into one of four categories: no objection, some objection, objectionable, and very objectionable. This evaluation subsequently became a part of the 1954 Hearings before the Subcommittee to Investigate Juvenile Delinquency during the mid-1950s moral panic against comic books. </p><p><a href="https://c.im/tags/Comicbooks" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>Comicbooks</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/Comics" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>Comics</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/Censorship" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>Censorship</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/1950s" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>1950s</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/ECComics" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>ECComics</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/FawcettComics" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>FawcettComics</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/MarvelComics" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>MarvelComics</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/StrangeTales" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>StrangeTales</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/FictionHouseComics" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>FictionHouseComics</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/ComicsCode" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>ComicsCode</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/MediaLiteracy" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>MediaLiteracy</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/MassMediaHistory" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>MassMediaHistory</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/CoverArt" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>CoverArt</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/CoverIllustration" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>CoverIllustration</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/CoverIllustrations" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>CoverIllustrations</span></a> </p><p><a href="https://bleedingcool.com/comics/very-objectionable-supernatural-sexy-implications-of-ghost-comics/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">bleedingcool.com/comics/very-o</span><span class="invisible">bjectionable-supernatural-sexy-implications-of-ghost-comics/</span></a></p>
