Comics Code Censors Pushed to Limits as Vampirella Visits Nude Beach in Vampirella #7 [Preview]

Published Tue, 21 Jan 2020 16:30:08 -0600

Ever since the great Batman Damned incident of 2018, censors at the venerable Comics Code Authority have been desperately scanning through every comic for hints of an illicit penis making it past comic book publisher's editorial departments. But with this week's Vampirella #7, those censors may be totally outmatched, as the titular Vampirella visits a nude beach with Benny the Witch and artist Giovanni Timpano has gone all-out with the backgrounds, creating a veritable "Where's Waldo of Dicks" (feel free to use that as a pull quote for the TPB, Dynamite) as even the first page alone features a dozen opportunities for an errant penis to slip past attempts at clever concealment.

Dynamite has been kind enough to provide Bleeding Cool with some preview pages from the issue, which hits stores tomorrow, and we invite our readers to help out the censors and scan these pages for exposed dicks. And if we can't find one, we'll have to pick up the full issue tomorrow and look again, because there's no way we believe Timpano, that sly dog, didn't slip at least one in here… somewhere. Scandal awaits!
