I Went Too Far/Broadway Lights-Bill Draut-1953/1955


Here we have a fairly typical pre-Code soap opera story. The interest is in the fact that we also have its reprint, just two years later, doctored so heavily by the then-new Comics Code as to be considered perhaps the most extreme example of Code interference! Much fun to compare so we here are alternating the pages of the original with the censored and rewritten version.

Hello -
I had sent you an email a few weeks ago regarding an old comic. Not sure if you received it or if it went into your spam folder

I don't see it anywhere I'm afraid. Try again, please.

What a mess! I'm puzzled that with all the other censorship they didn't try to make the showgirls' costumes more modest.

With the title like "I Went Too Far", the reprint IS REALLY WENT TOO FAR-no thanks to the Comics Code!!!
