[quote=Anonymous]I grew up in Europe and loved comics. a very popular series was Tin Tin. It was not among my favorite but I read several books. I visited a comic book store in Bethesda a while ago and it was selling some Tin Tin books (as Asterix and other similar children's comic books from Europe). however, one issue was locked up under glass and I asked the store owner about why (it did not look like an especially valuable or rare comic) and he plainly told me that it was because of its racist content. it was Tin Tin au Congo. I have to confess that probably it was totally normal in the 70's in Europe to read a comic book for kids where black people are depicted as savages wearing just cloth over their butt and the white people as advanced and smart. I would also be happy to know that this stuff is no longer published and my kids don't get to read them without proper introduction and contextualization. [/quote]
