In 1955, comic book publisher, EC Comics printed a story in Weird Fantasy #18 about a black astronaut visiting the Earth and contemplating racism toward blacks. The Comic Code Authority, the industry-controlled self censuring watchdog demanded that the story be removed. When the publisher threatened to go to the Supreme Court, over the matter, the Comic Code’s administrator backed down. Issues relating to race relations are still contentious in the American comic book industry and this column was created to address these concerns
