Description
A Group representing the comic-book publishing industry, a cheap and disposable-seeming medium the game treats as an overlooked lever of mass influence.
Conspiracy Narrative
Echoes real mid-20th-century moral panic over comic books, especially psychiatrist Fredric Wertham's 1954 book 'Seduction of the Innocent,' which claimed comics corrupted children and helped trigger a U.S. Senate hearing and an industry self-censorship code.
