We have to deal with these comics on a case by case basis.  For the most part, we try to release as many comics as we can, and impose as little editorial control over books as possible.  In this case, if DC decided to release that book (Superman’s Girlfriend Lois Lane #106, from 1970) through us, we would almost certainly take it, though possibly with a disclaimer or trigger warning in the description.   Although some of the ideas and plot devices in that issue are extremely dated and could be viewed as problematic by today’s standards, it is a comic that tried to deal with racism as a difficult social issue at a time when mainstream comics weren’t really doing much of that at all, and so is at the very least an important historical artifact, if not at least partially commendable as a book whose intent is essentially anti-racist. 

A similar situation arises with the character Ebony White in WIll Eisner’s The Spirit comics.  Ebony was one of the first African American characters in a comic like this, and though he was treated as an equal to other characters in the strip, he was drawn and spoke in a stereotypical fashion that is not acceptable by today’s standards.  So, the intent was good, the execution is problematic, but in a case like this, we feel like it’s more important to make these books available than to not release them, as they are a valuable, if challenging, part of comics history.

That said, we are a company that values inclusiveness and diversity, so if you see something on our site that bothers you, let us know.  This kind of dialogue is valuable to us as a company.  We want our readers to be happy and feel welcome and safe browsing the books we sell.  Comics are for everyone!
