POWER COMICS #2Crime comics were very popular in the golden age. By 1949 roughly one in seven comics was a crime comic. Although popular in terms of sales, crime comics increasingly became the targets of concerned parents, clergy and other groups who were disturbed by the stories in the comics. They saw them as one of the main causes of juvenile delinquency among other societal ills. As a result a strict code was adopted administered by the Comics Code Authority.You can enjoy again - or for the first time -POWER COMICS #2 with this public domain reprint from GOLDEN AGE REPRINTS.
