ACADEMIC WRITING

BA: ENGLISH AND CREATIVE WRITING AT RHUL (2016)
”How did the creation of the Comics Code Authority's 1954 publishing guidelines affect both Marvel's Strange Tales and the wider North American comic book community at the time of its introduction?”

For my longest (non-creative) written project during my BA studies at Royal Holloway University of London, I looked at the censorship of comic books within North America, as affected by the The Comics Code Authority (CCA), post-1954. I gave a particular focus to Marvel’s Strange Tales series, and also looked at the emergence of Underground Comix. This essay received a First.
