5. not quite right

it wasnt Lee's idea (what few were?) he was asked to do it.
The monsters were not unleashed until the early 70's.
thats a long time, a lot of horror books missing all of the
traditional horror subject matter.
And that censorship extended into movies and TV.
I wouldnt make the CCA out as the boogie man.
I would have a hard time pointing to ANY worthwhile stuff
after the mid to late 70's.
because of conservatism, greed, asshole people in charge,
and an industry that failed to cultivate its strengths in order
to crush labor and creative interests.
nothing but trash ever since.
particularly that pile of maggoty theft that composed Marvel Comics.
nothing.
(except for some short series done by Steve Gerber and Doug Moench.)
