Missed It: Apple Asks For Changes In Non-Sexual Nudity In Comic, Relents

imageI totally missed the story of Rob Berry and Josh Levitas running up against being asked to make changes in non-sexual nudity for their book to be made available on the iPad, and of all the stories out there I think Brigid Alverson's interview with the creators makes the best one-and-done on what went on. When I think back to the months and months of flopping around like crazy on content issues when comics made what is on the surface a much easier-to-grasp and less openly dramatic transition from newsstand to comic book shop racks, it doesn't surprise me at all that the medium moving into a more dramatic, publicly well-known avenue for publication is going to come with some weirdness and hesitation; slow and steady and professional and deliberate and responsible wins the race here, I think.
