Wait so women can say they dont need a man but men cant say they are better off without a woman? Lol

I just googled the dead #2 cover and wow can't believe that was even a cover back then

- The first one is the hand is in the extreme foreground. The mistake isn't the hand but the placement of the tombstone. You could see it as the zombie is coming out of another grave in our foreground view. Nothing controversial but staging is 'off'. They probably thought the large hand and the whole look would stand out on the shelf like a classic horror comic from the '50s at that time. - Oh 'cmon, what rape vibe on the Supergirl cover? Nothing wrong with that cover. Jeez. She's being dragged along by the villain to the wedding, NOT the bed chamber. - EVS My Struggle, you don't get the satire? It's when people were criticizing EVS so he trolled them with his sketchbook. He printed these himself. - Nothing wrong with the X-Static cover. Oh boy. - Superman's book was just a dumb writer's take. - Lobo's cover looks GREAT. Gotta' track that down. - Great Neal drug cover and interiors. - The Archie cover is the ONLY one I'd see as controversial because Archie is and always was marketed for kids. Once they did this and the lgbt stuff, they ruined a wholesome franchise. - Tony Stark with the alcoholism definitely is a great read. I read it as a kid and it did make you think of the consequences. - Minara's Spider-Woman cover you got ALL wrong. Minara is a master illustrator. Master of anatomy. People who weren't good with anatomy thought it was drawn wrong, but it wasn't. The anatomy is correct and the prude's in the industry thought it was 'sexist'? What? Have you seen how superhero women have been drawn for over 80 years in comics on covers, interiors, etc. Power Girl has a window to show her tits from day one. LOL. And for the arse, it's another satire like how Spidey has the same pose for a male, with the costume riding up his own ass. Just look up those poses up. Oh boy.

I love the “viewer discretion advised” lmao

I had the Hansi comic when I was a kid. I think I got it from a church. It depicted a mass rape of German female prisoners by Soviet soldiers.

I think the comments hyped it up too much. I don’t think dead #2 is that bad, really. Yes it’s gruesome and pretty nasty, but not something that needed banning. It’s a horror comic🤷‍♂️

You did a great job on this video! When I saw the length as 29 minutes, I thought there is no way I’ll watch the whole thing. But guess what, I did and it was a lot of fun! 👍🏼☺️

Great list! I didn't know a few of them! And I think you missed the big Onslaught reveal, about Prof X's past!

Holy smokes! Made the bad choice to look up The Dead #2 and well... Great vid, by the way.

One of the worst Supergirl covers is one showing her being terrified of a mouse. It turns out she was having a dream, but the cover remains one of her most demeaning moments.

I regret googling The Dead issue #2 cover. Things you can't unsee 😮

That dead #2 variant cover is crazy as hell

dead 2 yikes *casually deletes search history*

Id like to give an ad a mention: in 1999 dc ran ads for "sonic adventure" the ad went something like this:" sonics faster then ever too bad your lame ass reflex's cant keep up with it" i saw that for real and no one said anything

Damn, imagine there being controversy over superman wanting to protect the world not just 1 country. thats patriotism gone wrong. Good video though!

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

Great video James, it was real fun to watch! A new comic that comes to mind is the cover of Good Asian 8, not released at the time your video was made though.

Dude, great video! One of your best yet. You’re getting good ad polishing the vids and making them more entertaining. Cheers! Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!

top 100 "must have" comics IMO. 🙀 underground "comix" (Cocaine Comix, Cherry, Checkered Demon, etc.) are way more crazy than anything on this list but it does awesome job covering mainstream comics.

5:02, totally not invoking the iconic photo of RFK's assassination.

For me the most controversial was Superman nearly doing a porn in action comics 592- 593. He and big barda nearly did a sex tape. No I'm not kidding.

Just found your channel today and watched a ton of your vids. Keep them coming, brotha!! 🤓

I was wondering if that Alf cover was going to be on here before watching, glad to see it 😂

Some of the Spawn comics could have made this list. What Spawn did to Billy Kincaid comes to mind.

There’s What if Volume 1, # 16. Marvel left it out of the omnibus because of the title. It’s on my hunt list and now you’ve added a couple more!

in europe these would be considered standard

What a great job man, I just find your channel and I´m glad I did.

I can't find the uncensored comic book cover of The Dead #2 Varient Cover. It just shows me The Walking Dead or it blurred out.

Ok, someone needs to tell me: what's up with the Osbornes' hair? Are those supposed to be cornrows? Or are they just badly drawn wavy hair?

I like your topic's on comics. I got into comics back in early March. Great content.

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.

With the Native Americans, yes if you read history there were war tribes, tribes who dominated the more peaceful Native tribes etc. That should've have been controversial if people know history. Yeah, I heard that they took Stan's blood tricking him into saying it was for his doctor to run a general physical on him. Do a blood test, etc. It was when his wife passed so there was no one to protect this man. What shocks me as Stan is a multi millionaire he didn't have a big time agent or law office representing him. Very strange to me. That Tomb of Terror cover great! Sorry for the long posts. I learned alot and will seek out some of these books for my collection. Cheers!

Forgot the Punisher issues, where he undergoes a procedure to turn himself back and fights with Luke Cage in the inner city...this actually took place over several issues!!

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

Had to look up The Dead #2 so far the one’s I’ve seen also picture greyed out. BTW your videos are well done. I also do videos and your topics and how well they look inspires me.

Poor Archie. It must be hard work beating off three guys (in a row!). 😼

Don't let your curiosity lead you to Dead#2, just trust the comments LoL

the dead #2 var is just as bad as the first issues var

There was an issue of the Rampaging Hulk B&W mag by Jim Shooter where a couple of guys try to rape Bruce Banner in a shower at a gym - and he of course Hulks out

Rampaging Hulk # 23 and Justice League: Cry for Justice # 2 were the only major omission that pops to mind. You could make a case for Ghost Rider teaming up with Jesus or Hal Jordan sleeping with an underaged Arisia.

I would not be shocked if Trump stole his for the wall from that story

Hi James, one year late but I've finally got to view this video. Love the subject! And there's plenty of room for a Part 2 (and 3). Interesting note: X-Statix #15 with the Princess Diana-looking character - I can only find images of this cover with her hair re-coloured darker and no tiara. Can't find any reference to the blonde version being recalled or the dark version being a second printing. Love to know the full story of this one. Regarding the great Mark Gruenwald's ashes being mixed with the ink for the Squadron Supreme Trade: blood from each member of Kiss was mixed with the ink to print Marvel Comics Super Special #1 (1977).

can't say I'm surprised about Van Sciver being on here multiple times.

Good grief butt canyon. Wow, did not know about the Wolverine controversy. Ah the refrigerator. Alf!

I googled the dead issue 2,holy crap that is just all kinds of wrong.

Great topic great list. Thanks for the vid.

Great video! Subscribed!!

Yooo, I been with with this channel for a long time. Love the content and the evolution of your content. Sorry to hear about your recent lay off but I can tell you are going in on this channel. I am a better collector because toir your, and others like your channel and I am thankful for the time you put into these college level gems. I am always on the roku, so I never have the option to comment. Hoped in on the phone to drop this line, you are building a valuable library of knowledge for the young heads and that will keep our hobby alive. Thank you for your accurate and entertaing content.

Excellent research and video! But you definitely missed the 1970 Kazar #1 with Daredevil and X-men by Herb Trimpe. His great cover has the word F--K clearly hidden in the blades of grass. lol

Spiderman did that spiderwoman pose first

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?

I happened to get a copy of Immortal Hulk #43 as I was getting all of the Marvel Vs Alien variant covers.

She hulk was not naked in the issue once the rope slowed she had clothes on

Hansi, the girl who loved the Swastika?? Damn...

That’s some badddd timing with superman realised on the 12 of sep

Add "Red Room" to your list.....

This video is refreshingly new idea!! Thanks for the great content....

Faust and grip from Mike vigil

X-Statix #15, I don't think that is the real cover. The real cover the girl has black hair.

I can't see the issue with the Conan cover. I mean. It's Conan. I get that comics are a certain kind of monster but come on. It's Conan. Conan the Barbarian. Look to all the barbarian art of the age. Look to Frank Frazetta. I just can't see the issue with a naked woman or man on the cover or in the pages of a Conan book.

Faust 1-12 all prints. How about GIANT SIZED MAN-THING

Last weekend I picked up Wolverine 131 and turned out to be the recalled version. Saw a few of the other books mentioned here, thinking about going back to grab them just for rarities sake.

What's funny is I just bought a copy of Detective Comics 371 and when I first saw the cover I was like really? That's what Batgirl is worried about right now haha

X-Factor #39 Multiple Man absorbs his son.

green lantern vol 4 #57 regular cover Brad Meltzer Justice League of America #15 (it's either 14/15/16 - can't remember), Ed Benes drew the issue - first double page spread.........

Some of these make sense and I get it... but others.... good lord what a reach.

you hit most of what I would've thought of controversial... except God Loves Man Kills... another X-Men book with use of a racial slur plus the graphic murder of two children who are then strung up in a playground swing.

What up, Mint Hunter. This is a very interesting look at the history of comics.

Awesome video, I recall some controversy with Kevin Smith catching a bunch of heat when Batman peed his pants in “The Widening Gyre” series he wrote.

Wow, that Rifleman cover was bad. How that got printed Idk. How dare Superman be attracted more to one appearance of Lois than another?!

i wish people would re-read one more day instead of miss posting what people on say it is about . it was not Peter whO made the deal to end the marrage it was M.J .

What about Uncanny X-Men 261, with Wolverine on the cover crucified.

After Googling The Dead, I saw some of the other covers, and I seem to remember seeing a few of these back then. Can't remember if it was a friend or family member who had them, but being a teenager in 93 when these came out, and being into horror movies and Heavy Metal magazine, I remember thinking they were hilarious. Now I'm cringing that this even got released. And I want a copy. Also, you mention people's DNA being added to ink, and you forgot the big one, when KISS famously added vials of their blood to the red ink of the first printing of their first comic from Marvel. Maybe Marvel just has some issues. (pun not necessarily intended)

I'm just curious of what you think is a good value for a Rifleman #10 in a fair condition. I have the oppurtunity to get one for $299. I think that is to high.

I found the Hansi at an antique store and read it. Not what the cover makes you think.

Cool video. Very well made

Amazing that a lot of these even made it to print. Pretty blatant stuff. You gotta wonder where the editors were on this or how they kept their jobs. Lol!

Loved this video had to laugh at some of those covers own a couple of them.

Amazing informative video!!!

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

23:00 the Batawang - only one I could recall recently.

What about the KISS comic made with their blood?

You left out the starwars nude variant

this is a great video. i will be embedding this one on my website. it's a keeper.

So... The Dead issue #2... That was... That sure was something!

HAHAHA I love that batman damned you said who needed this I might have needed it lmao! I love that it made it I actually have this in a CGC 10 :) im so happy it was my very first submission to cgc

Savage Tales 1 from 1974

My favorite is Reform School Girl.

Loved the video but you actually missed the 1st time Kitty said the N word. That was in the Marvel Graphic Novel #5 “God Loves, Man Kills” (May 1982). Also just to make you jealous, I bought that ALF #48 comic you want off the shelf of my LCS the day it came out back in 1991. I laughed from the moment I 1st saw it to just now when you mentioned it, lol.

I'm confused I thought the hulking and wiccan were the first gay couple

I went to a comic show I found Lois lane 106 when Lois Lane was black it was 75.00 I paid 70.00

This is a great list but I know of one that tops all of these. Frank Thorne’s Devil’s Angel from Eros comics in the 90s. A comic shop that sold it was accused of trafficking CP for carrying it but luckily because of the 1st amendment the case was thrown out. Frank Thorne made the final issue of the series an anti censorship comic because of the controversy

Great video

good videos, i enjoy watching them.

None of these are as obscene as being an eagles fan

Not one of Avatar Press or Verotik Comics mentioned. "Hmm". Might be due to so low sales.

Educational. Great research.

Great Video!

I Googled it and it's censored

Actully it was the intire Flex mentallo Mini not just issue Four the origen is not in the mini series it is only in the Doom Patrol the mini had him created buy a Heroni addict.
