Graphic Comics Site Offends Parents
A comic hosted on the graphic novel website www.artbomb.net raised local parents’ eyebrows and ire this week. In response to feedback from concerned parents, the East Bonner County Library is moving a link to Artbomb from the teen section of the library to the adult section. The controversy resulted from one of Artbomb’s currently featured comics entitled “My, My American Bukkake Too” by author Susannah Breslin. The comic, which uses a high-contrast black and white art style to explore a story of personal loss with some strong sexual themes, begins with an advisory warning of adult material and is not linked to directly from the library website. However, some parents were upset that a website hosting adult comics was placed in the library’s teen section/ Cameron Rasmussen , Bonner County Bee. More here.
Question: Do you think the site is too graphic for juveniles at public library?
