Tom Brevoort shares a Captain America cover deemed too violent for use in the 1990s:
Looking at it, my first thought was that it seemed very tame for a cover pulled for content, but my second was… I wonder what would result in a cover being pulled today in similar circumstances? Have covers become more graphic, or is it my imagination? And would this cover be pulled today, or simply shipped in a polybag that hid its content from young and impressionable eyes?

It would take something crazy – like Cap holding a beer maybe – to get a cover pulled today.

Also, that cover suggests a story, and isn’t just an “iconic” picture of the main characters, so it would probably be pulled because of that.
Ba-dum-dum!
