Sinopsis

Censorship In Comics explores the intense scrutiny and content regulation that reshaped the American comic book industry in the mid-20th century. Fueled by societal anxieties linking comics to juvenile delinquency, this period saw the rise of the Comics Code Authority (CCA), a self-regulatory body intended to preempt government intervention. The book examines how this censorship impacted comic book narratives and artistic styles, revealing both the limitations imposed and the creative strategies employed by artists and writers.

 
The book analyzes key events and figures leading to the CCA's establishment, including Senate subcommittee hearings and the role of publishers. The CCA's content restrictions had a profound effect; for example, crime and horror genres faced significant limitations. Despite its constraints, the book argues that the CCA inadvertently contributed to the diversification of the medium, paving the way for independent publishers willing to tackle controversial themes.

 
Beginning with the cultural and political climate that fostered censorship, the book progresses to analyze the CCA’s formation, implementation, and impact. It concludes by exploring the legacy of the CCA and its relevance in debates about media regulation and artistic freedom, offering a balanced account of a pivotal moment in popular culture.

    China Cuckoo - How I Lost a...

    ‘China Cuckoo’ is the charming true story of a witty and eccentric sinophile Englishman and his China tree-change, narrated by the author. 
    Mark Kitto was the first westerner to return and live in Moganshan, a dilapidated, beautiful Chinese mountain village, since the original foreign residents left in 1949.  
    In millennial Shanghai, Kitto was the creator of the ‘That's’ city magazine series, the most popular and profitable English language publications in China since the ‘North China Daily News’, the paper of record of concession-era Shanghai. The UK Financial Times described him as a ‘mini media mogul’. In 2004 he suffered the same fate as the man who built the ‘Daily News’. He lost everything to the Communist Party.  
    Rejecting the corporate world and the glamour of Shanghai, Mark persuaded his urbane Chinese wife to make Moganshan their permanent home. With their two small children they took the bold step of moving their lives to the isolated village, taking over an old brothel to start a western style cafe. In the process the author uncovered the history of the mountain retreat; its ‘discovery’ and development by missionaries, its popularity with celebrities, drug dealers (Chinese and foreign), and its decay under the Communist regime.  
    Funny, touching and inspiring, ‘China Cuckoo’ is a rare and intimate portrait of life in rural China through the eyes of one man who has survived house-fires, typhoons, corruption and cultural clashes. It is an illustration of past and present China’s relations with foreigners and it describes, in the words of one who has suffered and benefited from both, the risks and rewards of going ‘China Cuckoo’. 
    Mark Kitto has also published ‘That’s China, how a British entrepreneur took on the Chinese propaganda machine’, the full story of his China publishing career, now available as an audiobook. 
    Mark Kitto currently lives in the UK where he is an actor, narrator and editor.

    On the Cannibals

    'I am not sorry we note the barbarous horror of cannibalism, but grieved that, prying so narrowly into their faults, we are so blinded in ours.'
    
    First translated into English in 1603, 'On the Cannibals' is an essay reflecting on a remarkable trip to Brazil which Michel de Montaigne undertook at the end of the sixteenth century.
    
    A study into the customs and practices of indigenous peoples in the Americas, Montaigne delves into the concept of 'civilisation', contrasting the behaviour of so-called 'barbarians' with Western society. He challenges the idea that European values are superior, understanding the practices of the Tupinambá people and arguing that the horrors inflicted by the soldiers of Portugal on their enemies at the time are – in many ways – far worse. It remains a persuasive and compelling argument for cultural relativism. This audiobook edition is expertly narrated by Malk Williams.
    Michael de Montaigne (1533 – 1592) was a French philosopher and writer, and a significant figure in the French Renaissance. He is widely known for popularising the essay, amalgamating anecdotes with memoir and intellect. He has been a huge influence on several Western writers, including William Shakespeare.
