Mr. BEASER. There would be no limit actually to what you put in the magazines?
Mr. GAINES. Only within the bounds of good taste.
Mr. BEASER. Your own good taste and salability?
Mr. GAINES. Yes.
Senator KEFAUVER. Here is your May 22 issue. This seems to be a man with a bloody ax holding a woman's head up which has been severed from her body. Do you think that is in good taste?
Mr. GAINES. Yes, sir; I do, for the cover of a horror comic. A cover in bad taste, for example, might be defined as holding the head a little higher so that the neck could be seen dripping blood from it and moving the body over a little further so that the neck of the body could be seen to be bloody.
Senator KEFAUVER. You have blood coming out of her mouth.
Mr. GAINES. A little

Lo de esta portada y la anécdota del buen gusto (sí para un tebeo de horror) la contaba en la Historia de los comics de Toutain un dibujante (creo que era Jerry De Fuccio; pero no voy a levantarme a comprobarlo). Tenía mucha gracia cuando después de decir que trabajaba para la E.C y escuchar todas las cosas que ya no se podían hacer decía algo como: "Tengo una pregunta. ¿Sabe dónde puedo encontrar trabajo?"
