Nschornhorst for what the Sistine Chapel would have looked like if Michelangelo had been into comic books.
Also, it occurs to me that there's one cartoonist that belongs in this week's contest - Jack Chick. Give 'em Hell, Jack!

I don't go back quite that far but I've read about that. Wasn't that all due to psychiatrist Frederic Wertham's book Seduction of the Innocent? It mainly cited EC comics from what I recall. It was a horror comic and not superhero stuff. But the whole industry was affected. Eventually Warren magazines came out with Eerie and Creepy but they were magazines in a higher grade format aimed at an older audience so they could get away with it. My dad used to buy us those. We had a lot of the early issues but unfortunately someone, we never figured out who, threw them away. My mom said it wasn't her! I loved those Frazetta covers.

Well, in the 70's the Comics Code had odd rules about what you could and couldn't do in a horror comic. Of course, you couldn't be too explicit, but they had strange restrictions on "undead" characters. Marvel and DC would get around it by calling certain characters "The Living Mummy" or "The Living Vampire". Marvel got away with zombies by using an alternative spelling ( ..."zombimvee" or something? I can't remember offhand...). I just thought it was kind of funny that during the era of movies like The Exorcist and The Omen no one had a problem with a superhero called Son of Satan, but at the same time, you couldn't call zombies "zombies"
They might have used a more obscure term for zombie...zuvembie. IIRC it was used in a short story by Robert E. Howard called the Pigeons from Hell. It was published in Weird Tales in 1938 according to the wiki. It was later used as the basis for an episode of the "Thriller" anthology series hosted by Boris Karloff.
Oh my....the tie hasn't been broken! What a nail-biter!
