📰 News we're reading

• Kentuckians feared the post-war world. So they burned their kids' comic books (kentucky.com) — In the 1950s, Cynthiana’s Junior Woman’s Club led a drive where local schoolchildren traded in comic books to be destroyed, part of a broader statewide panic over comics and juvenile delinquency. The story traces how those fears led to Kentucky’s comic book ban, public burnings, and censorship—and contrasts that history with Cynthiana’s later pride in hometown Walking Dead creators.
