DAREDEVIL: Anti-porn activism, cyberspace and morality.

Since it seems I can't post anything on this board without causing something of a "dust-up" in the replies, I thought I would post some pages from DAREDEVIL #327 and #329. It features Karen Page as an anti-porn crusader, fears about the new cyberspace and Captain America wondering about 1990's morality.



The guy buying "Playdude" is supposed to look like Tom DeFalco.



This storyline was called "Tree of Knowledge." It took place during the time everyone thought Matt Murdock was dead and a "new" Daredevil was going around in black and red armor. It also explored the then-new world of "cyberspace" and "system hacking." Basically, the days before we used computers to bitch about movies/TV shows/comic books.



This obviously takes place before adult entertainment went "legit" and its stars appeared on talk shows or get VH-1 shows. The funny thing is BORN AGAIN made it seem that Karen was doing the *really* dirty stuff, not the stuff regular New York producers would be "proud" of.

Two issues later...



Can you really say "Teledildonics" in a code-approved mainstream comic book?

Kathy Malper is a character introduced during the "Fall of the Kingpin" storyline. She was a federal prosecutor who didn't mind wearing Boston Red Sox caps and jackets around New York City.



I remember those commercials.





Breaking one laptop caused a supremely powerful BBS to fall apart? Stupid Internet.



Cap thinks more about the "good ol' days."

"TOK" had a series of terrorist attacks designed to bring New York City under martial law. HYDRA wanted to turn the citizens of New York against its government and its superheroes. Wild, huh?

Er.....no, it was because he damned well wanted to industrialize the USSR regardless of how many people died in that process. His ideas killed millions in pursuit of Marxism, both creating the proletariat and ensuring its die-hard loyalty to the Soviet state. His ideas were perfectly logical in the context of creating a Marxist Revolution in an agrarian empire.
