Well, this doesn’t look good at all: Alan Moore’s Neonomicon has been pulled from the shelves of a library in South Carolina after a mother complained about its sexually explicit content.
Inside the book, Gaske found graphic sexual content and pictures of nude men and women engaging in sexual activity. Seven on Your Side cannot show much of that content because it is so explicit. “The more into I got the more shocked I was, I really had no idea this type of material was allowed at a public library,” says Carrie Gaske. “I feel that has the same content of Hustler or Playboy or things like that,” she says. “Maybe even worse.”
The fact that the book was stocked in the adult section apparently doesn’t matter; the complaint has been filed, and the book withdrawn, at least temporarily. Are you ready for a new wave of “Why are our children’s comic books filled with such filth?” hysteria…?

This news is a week old. Where the hell have you been? I guess being as awful as you are really screws up your internal clock.

I think we should force this horrible woman to look at a bunch of hustler magazines and see if she still thinks this comic book is “worse.”

I wish it had been pulled for just being pure monster rape crap that it is. Between Lost Girls and this, Moore is just done.

Meanwhile, they can’t keep 50 Shades of Grey in stock.

The mothers complaint is that the book shouldn’t have been allowed to be lent out to a kid, and there should be some sort of warning label – ignoring that it was stocked in the adult section, and the parent was required to be present when the book was loaned out.
It’s just a mother who slipped up blaming others for it – I don’t know how the library can be seen to have failed it’s duty of care.

Well it really all depends on who checked out the book. If the mother checked out the book then it is her fault, she should have opened it up and looked through it to see if it was appropriate.
On the other hand, if the kid checked it out then that is all on the library because they should have realized they were checking out an adults only book to a minor.

DC Catwoman = soft core, Marvel Astonishing X-Men = hardcore
