If you haven’t already heard, this is Banned Books Week (September 30–October 6) in the United States. Started in 1982, the annual campaign celebrates the freedom to read and to raise awareness of books and authors that have been targets of censorship.
The Comic Book Legal Defense Fund, which is helping to sponsor this year’s event, lists several comics and graphic novels that frequently come under scrutiny.
