Résumé anglais Between 1947 and 1956, a sizable number of comic book titles were regarded as questionable reading material by parents, experts and authorities. In response to the phenomenon, the Senate Subcommittee on Juvenile Delinquency held hearings on illustrated magazines in 1954. Although the Subcommittee eventually recommended no federal legislation, it singled out certain comic books as likely scapegoats for juvenile delinquency ; the negative publicity thereby generated forced most publishers to resort to self-censorship to circumvent local bans against comics.
