It has been suggested that Erotic comics be merged into this article or section. (Discuss) Adult comics are comic books intended for adults. They may contain material that might be considered obscene, profane, immoral, and even pornographic, in contrast to the traditionally considered kid-friendly mainstream world of comics. Many adult comics, however, feature none of this, and simply tell stories of a more mature nature, as opposed to the fantasy elements of most comics... The term "adult comics" generally refers to those with explicit sexual content, and is usually separated from comics labeled for "mature readers", although not always. The "mature readers" label is a relatively new invention (although adult comics have been around for decades), and has gained more acceptance in the average comicbook reading demographics which are now aged far older than they were before the 1990s. In Japan, adult comics are more common and more perceived to belong to mainstream culture than in western countries. Contents 1 History 1.1 Early days 1.2 EC Comics and the Comics Code Authority In the early 1950s, William Gaines shifted the focus of his father's comic book Company, EC Comics, from educational to gruesome, with a bevy of titles such as Tales From the Crypt, Weird Science, and Crime SuspenStories, and became the best selling company of the time (and perhaps all time, although sales records from the period are imprecise). While none of the books featured any nudity or foul language, they were undoubtedly of a mature nature. Gruesomeness and grotesquery could be found in almost every story, and sexual situations and illicit activities in many of them. At the time, no standard existed for dividing material for adults from material for all audiences. Consequently, EC Comics found their way into the hands of millions of American children. This led to Dr. Fredric Wertham's book Seduction of the Innocent, which blamed violent media (but almost exclusively comic books) for the rising number of cases of juvenile delinquency nationwide. After a large public outcry and even Senate hearings, most of the major publishers joined together to create the Comics Code Authority 1.3 Underground comics 1.4 Vertigo 2 Titles 2.1 American Adult Comics 2.2 Italian Adult Comics 2.3 Hentai Manga(Japan) 3 Publishers 4 Creators/Artists 4.1 American Adult Comic Creators Barry Blair SS Crompton Wes Crum Dementia Phil Foglio Philo Rebecca Terrie Smith Joe Vigil Tim Vigil Kevin J.
