Justice League #43 - "Justice Lost, The Conclusion"

[laughing_tree]

What happens, a lot of times, is that companies become very protective of intellectual property. DC in particular, they’re so used to everybody liking their characters and the characters being likable, so there’s a likeable question. If Deathstroke is running around, like... Deathstroke guest stars in a couple issues of Justice League, and he’s giving Cyborg a hard way to go, and he’s kind of a little rough with the language. So they’re being a little overly sensitive to it. But I told them when I started with the character that as I saw him he needed to be blunt and he needed to take the gloves off and a character like this is not going to necessarily be politically correct or worried about hurting somebody’s feelings. -- Christopher J. Priest

Rawhide Kid #1

[history79]

TUCKER CARLSON: But Mr. Lee, I know for years in comic books, Carl Barks wrote about this before he died, the people who wrote comic books made some attempt to keep politics out of them and heavy-handed social statements out of them with the idea that children read them and you ought not to impose those views on kids.

STAN LEE: This isn't political. Years ago, I did a book called "Sergeant Fury and His Howling Commandos." His platoon consisted of a Jewish fellow named Izzy Cohen, an Italian named Deno Minelli, a black named Gabriel Jones, and so forth.

Now, we weren't making a political statement, and nobody ran out after buying the book and decided "I'm going to become Jewish" or "I'm going to become Italian." People read it. They enjoyed it. That was it.

Black Panther #59: Ascension, Part 1 of 4

[superboyprime]

"With Panther, I should mention I’ve always wanted to write Batman and DC has never let me write Batman. So I was going to make him Marvel’s Batman. While not being a direct copy or parody, he would be this sort of dark avenger who was relatively infallible and always 10 steps ahead of his prey." - Christopher Priest
