Definition
- With prime-time television and major motion pictures regularly depicting “graphic” images of gunshot victims, fallen heroes, and glorified villains, it is hard to imagine that “graphic images” of gunshot victims, fallen heroes, and glorified villains were once targets of American efforts to curb juvenile delinquency. Yet comic strips and comic books were central to America's war on crime during much of the twentieth century, both as a cause and means of preventing social problems.
