I apparently paid the princely sum of 70 cents for that issue. Worth it for the cover alone!Chuckhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11439825652518736896noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4819665860959438823.post-41119991763600148902011-05-18T22:00:14.860-04:002011-05-18T22:00:14.860-04:00I think that Bob Kanigher liked

He was prolific and<br />a lot of his stories followed a<br />certain formula so that, even if<br />it wasn't credited, you learned to<br />know the "Kanigher touch."<br />He also did that Sgt. Rock story<br />based on the My Li massacre in<br />Vietnam that garnered publicity in<br />The New York Times. <br />He could attract the attention of<br />both the fans and the civilians!<br /><br />Sam KujavaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4819665860959438823.post-69296387829036205712011-05-18T21:20:38.164-04:002011-05-18T21:20:38.164-04:00I admit it...

I wonder if it was used because the title was in the news (with the writer not knowing the pornographic connotation) or if he just tried to slip it past the editors - and succeeded!Chuckhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11439825652518736896noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4819665860959438823.post-70805262665588679102011-05-18T10:05:41.708-04:002011-05-18T10:05:41.708-04:00Here's what's curious: The title is a play...Here's what's curious: The title is a play on the Swedish film "I am Curious (Yellow)" which was a controversial film here in the US for nudity and sex. I don't believe it was explicit, but for the time it was considered pornographic in some communities.<br /><br />Anyways, for DC to take the title from a film clearly NOT meant for children and use it on a comic clearly meant for kids was curious, to say the least. These days it would probably be controversial.Dwaynenoreply@blogger.com
