Two men in a small Italian joint on the cusp of Little Italy gorged themselves on spaghetti and manicotti while they plotted comic book stories. The comics that Bill Gaines and Al Feldstein created out of those red sauce soaked meetings stirred and shook the sensibilities of the entire comic book industry.
Scenes of decapitations and beautiful dames in pools of blood forced Mr. Gaines out from behind his comfortable chair at Patrissy’s and in to the hot seat in front of a United States Senate Subcommittee on Juvenile Delinquency. Forced to defend his work and means, Mr. Gaines championed free speech while teaming with other publishers to self-regulate under the Comics Code Authority.
