Spider-Man graphic novel to be banned from school
Skip to commentsA Spider-Man graphic novel is being questioned for appropriate content for Norris Elementary School by one mother. With the growth in popularity of graphic novels such hard cover comic books are being added to Nebraska school libraries, but this one in question shows the Mary Jane Watson character in a bikini and other “states of undress.” In addition to the “sexual undertones,” the mother feels that comic book “hold little literary value.” The head librarian stated that the graphic novel has been in high demand. Comicbook.com blogger Tony Dillard researched the book and found that it was first published in 2002, has a PG rating and clearly states that it is for 12+ ages. The library will form a review committee to evaluate the mother’s complaint.
