Top 100 Most Controversial & Shocking Comics in History

[@christopherlacher3544]

The funniest thing about the SUPERMAN beer cover is that it has been well known that alcohol has no effect on Superman due to his metabolism

[@matthewhood7844]

It also looks like the label says root beer.

[@BarryHart-xo1oy]

Thank you for pointing this out.

[@ojmcclanahan689]

That fact has always made me want to see Superman go into a bar and drink everyone under the table just because he can. Superman is way too uptight and pretentious to do anything like that though. He would just tell everybody how bad drinking was for them because he's a walking After School Special. I just hope that one day Superman gets a likable personality.

[@sird2333]

I was thinking the same thing! Wolverine can down a keg, so how much more would Superman be able to?

[@MintHunterComics]

CRAZY.

[@brianjohnson4082]

I can't seem to find it. What's on the cover? The only two images I found where censored too .

[@zachbinks4554]

@@brianjohnson4082 Well, its a very graphic up close picture of a zombie’s mouth with a woman’s bloody privates being chewed between his teeth while a lady lays naked on a bed in the background, legs splayed open. If you type The Dead #2 comic into google and check images it should be the 3rd picture down.

[@hi-octanecomics404]

there are more than a few from that series that are very dark. what is fascinating to me is the fact that someone took all that time to draw. it's one thing to glance or even read a book like that. but doing the art is very time consuming. a very dark pass-time.

[@jimbomba4365]

It was an alternate "Adults Only" cover, which a relatively common sales practice from underground comics publishers back in the day. The Dead #1 (only two issues of Volume 1 was published) also has an alternate adult cover which is equally graphic.

[@ewok_soup]

The world’s finest one is so weird, because if the kids were wearing bathing suits or even underwear nothing in the picture would change. So it’s kind of a Rorschach test: if you’re seeing naked kids that’s on you.

[@RobertWilkinsonJKekMaloy]

Kinda makes me wonder about ol boy now sayin the kids was nekkid.

[@neilgodwin6531]

I couldn't figure that one, either. Someone's imagination was working overtime. That thought process is more disturbing than the cover, imo

[@stevespencer8230]

What's so controversial about Captain America taking drugs. The whole character exists due to someone taking experimental drugs.

[@MintHunterComics]

A seriouslyyyy valid question honestly lol

[@Solitaire001]

Another character who uses drugs is Hourman. The original Hourman developed a drug called Miraculo that gave him the strength of 10 men for 1 hour (thus his name). Later, they did a story where they show him being a bit high while using the drug and it was also addictive. He eventually develops a non-addictive version for his son that give him the strength of 5 men for one hour. Deathstroke has an origin similar to Captain America, except the drug he took was a bit unstable and at first it varied from day to day, sometimes he'd be enhanced and at other times he'd be in a coma-like state. Eventually it stabilized and he quit the Military to become a mercenary.

[@BarryHart-xo1oy]

Excellent point.

[@wylierichardson-tu6zs]

If you are referring to his origin, that was not a usage of narcotic or illegal drugs. It was a special 'serum' designed to give the person super-strength.

If you haven't already looked into it, it's not what you think. It was originally an autobiographical book by Maria Anne Hircshmann and, of course, based on her life. When Germany invaded Czech, she was indoctrinated into the Hitler Youth, but eventually realized how wrong Nazi Germany was and fled to America, becoming a Christian teacher. It's basically a story of a girl who initially supported Nazi ideals before becoming disillusioned with it, realizing it's wrong, and supports American freedom.

I think it was originally an attempt to draw wavy hair, and has been retained since it has become a bit iconic. It's much like the # on the side of Archie's head, to indicate red hair. Something similar was used in the manga "Ranma 1/2" to indicate whether Ranma is male or female (he's under a curse that causes him to change into a girl when dowsed with cold water, hot water changes him back). Since the original manga was in black & white, the Creator put a white streak in Ranma's hair to indicate when Ranma is female. When they brought "Ranma 1/2" to anime, Ranma has red hair when female.

Both views are correct, however, women don't work to support men. If a man wants a woman, his income is going to be impacted. It's an entirely different dynamic. Any women can be independent of men and any man can certainly get along without a woman who is dependent on him.

[@deeesher]

Great video, but I question how truly controversial some of these covers are. Oh i agree with many of them! But others had a deeper reason if you read the story. The Batgirl ripping her tights (Detective 371?), was done intentionally to distract the villains so Batman could take them out easier. Not so much misogyny if it's a tactic she used successfully.

5:27 That Manara cover of Spiderwoman isn't an example of "Misogyny". He's famous for his sexy women, and let's be honest, Jessica Drew is a pretty fan-servicey character. (And there's nothing wrong with the anatomy in that image, despite it's overt sexuality.)

The whole outrage over Spider-Woman #1 is bloody f'n funny as heck! Marvel knew exactly what they were getting when they hired Milo Manara famed Italian artist of books like Trip to Tullum (with Federico Fellini), Butterscotch Corto Maltese, and more 'erotic' comix. Duuude, have you even taken the the time to ACTUALLY READ that Sensational She-Hulk 46???? If you did then you would have known that Bryne is dissing the then current trend of portraying women in comics as sexual objects...ANYONE with a 1/10th of a brain could have figured that out - buncha IGNORAMUSES! Bryne (followed by Steve Gerber) had one of the most fun comic book series of the 1980's/1990's with Sensational Shulkie. On the Wonder Woman 'bondage' tip, she was created by a dude heavily into B.D. & S. & M. (in addition to developing a 'lie detector' hence WW's lassos ability to compel one to tell the truth.

This list is the top 100 controversial comics, not what I think is controversial. So in the case of that she hulk, even though its making FUN of misogyny it was considered controversial for its portrayal nonetheless. People misunderstood the comic but nonetheless it was controversial. I'm reporting on comics that caused a lot of stink and ruffled feathers

Star Sapphire having Superman kiss her boot in front of the world has strong vibes of Superman trying to convince the entire world that he’s not gay.

lol what?

[@joelatorre]

That action comics 457 came to mind while watching this list and I knew it had to be on here

[@MintHunterComics]

WHAT WERE THEY THINKING?

[@alienmoosestudios]

Hi new subscriber here 😁 freaking awesome video BUWAHAHAHA 🤣😂 thanks for sharing 😁

[@Steve_Vendetta]

For your consideration: Mike Allred's GRAPHIQUE MUSIQUE #2 (Slave Labor Graphics, 1990). It's known as the "Decapitation Cover" issue, which raised many eyebrows and generated a degree of controversy at the time of its release. Of course, it's become tamer through the years, and could be overlooked when measured against current standards. But it certainly was flagged in its heyday. Now that we're on the cusp of this video's anniversary, perhaps it's time for a sequel? Another controversial Hundred, assembled from new discoveries you've made with or without the input of commenters here. What do you think, James?

[@robertbaker4811]

Fun video man. Love that you didn't forget ALF lmao!!! Check out Green Arrow vol.2 #17. Made a stink back in the day cuz of a splash page with a tortured and murdered stripper crucified like Jesus.

[@MintHunterComics]

[@SussyBaka420-r6g]

the dead #2 cover is gross and horrible HOW did that get published??

[@MintHunterComics]

Sigh who knows

[@thecatwrangler9448]

How? Well for starters the author, illustrator and publisher all live in the United States of America and believe it or not we have something called the First Amendment which protects our right to free speech (which includes other things such as the right to publish, read and view what they wish, etc..) regardless of its subject matter.

The only people getting butthurt from the Astonishing X-Men 51 cover are the characters getting married. 😉
