Dark Horse's The Secret Land Banned In Germany, But What About Flash?
Comic book retailers have been told that the new comic book series, The Secret Land, may not be sold in Germany, and that all orders to German stores have been cancelled, The series by Christofer Emgard and Tomas Aira concerns the aftermath of the death of Adolf Hitler, and the threat of what remains of the Third Reich. So why has it been cancelled? The odds are that it will involve use of the swastika, a symbol banned in Germany.
In the past that has included issues of The Boys being banned from Germany, Diamond Previews having images of Glory and Pigs from Image Comics amended, Dark Knight images amended (and even used in Mexico). And today's Flash #770 has many scenes with Hitler and Nazis – but not one swastika to be seen, replaced with other fascist symbology.So Germany can get The Flash this week – but not Secret Land next month.

I bought my copy from Piranha Comics in Kingston-Upon-Thames. Piranha Comics is a small south London comic store chain with a small south-east store in Kingston-Upon Thames's market centre, and a larger south-west store in Bromley, with an extensive back issue collection and online store. With a new store planned for Watford, if you are in the neighbourhood, check them out.
