Holy Crap, Batgirl!



THE CAPED CUSS-ADER: COMIC'S PROFANITY BLUNDER

"DC Comics is asking stores around the country to destroy tens of thousands of copies of a new Batman comic book because of a printing error that revealed a slew of obscenities.

The S- and F-words were supposed to be blacked out, but two shades of black were used, and the expletives are clearly legible, as are the thugs' A- and F-words - and even a number of C-bombs."

Remember when comics were for kids?

  5. Now see, if there had been more swearing in comic books when I was a kid, I would have been more interested in them.

  6. When I read comics, they said "Shee-ot" and "Freaking" a lot.

  7. *lol* they actually bother to write them in and then blank them out? why bother writing them in the first place?

    Pez is so right. those issues that survive the purge will probably sell for more than any other comic printed in the last 10 years or so.
