In America today, cultural sharks are circling our children, sometimes masking themselves with the imagery of more innocent times. For decades, comic books had been a primary reading source for millions of kids. They were a colorful gateway into the world of reading, and their stories were often inspiring.
Many parents are unaware of how bad comic books have become.
Some drop their children off at comic stores, thinking that the kids are taking the easy route into reading that they themselves enjoyed as children. But comic stores have become little more than gateways into pornography and graphic violence. It used to be that you found a few bad comics amid the adventure stories and tales of superheroes. Now, the decent comics are difficult to find. Most of the titles are bizarre, with some being openly pornographic, such as Purgatori, Bettie Page and Lady Death.
