flag Sacramento council backs repealing 1949 ban on selling crime comics to minors.

flag A Sacramento city council committee has unanimously recommended repealing a 1949 ordinance banning the sale of crime-themed comic books to minors, citing the law’s outdated nature and lack of enforcement. flag Supporters argue comics promote literacy, creativity, and social awareness, and that the ban contradicts First Amendment values. flag The proposal also designates the third week of September as “Sacramento Comic Book Week,” celebrating the city’s vibrant comic culture. flag Experts note no evidence links comics to youth violence, and similar laws have been struck down as overly broad. flag The full City Council will vote on the repeal.
