Brian Hibbs On Inappropriate Covers On All-Age Friendly Comics

The retailer Brian Hibbs has a short essay up here on DC putting a violent-looking cover on a comic book whose interiors suggest it could be an all-ages or simply a broadly-appealing sales item. I've had some exposure to this from little kids of my friends. I couldn't tell you how frequently this kind of thing might put someone off just in general, but I know two young comic-book obsessives that want no part of angry or violent superhero stories despite loving those characters. One of them had her father black out some Joker-related advertisements in a to-kids marketed comic book. So I suspect this is a real thing.
