History Bowdlerise / ComicBooks

* Mocked in ''ComicBook/{{The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen}}'' vol. 2's supplementary material, where the last page contains a note from the "H.M. Office of Bowdlerisation" ordering readers to "detach and destroy all scenes of an unsavory nature".

* In ''[[Comicbook/EarthX Universe X: Spidey]]'' #1, a slanderous message against Bob Harras was hidden on the book spines of a bookshelf in one panel. Subsequent printings made the wording illegible.

* ''ComicBook/ArchieComicsSonicTheHedgehog'': The first short story included in Issue #11 of the ''Super Sonic Special'' series -- in which princess Sally Acorn decides to receive guidance from the royal family's liquid SentientCosmicForce by [[InstantOracleJustAddWater immersing herself in a well of it]] -- was subjected to mild Bowdlerization when it was featured in the ''Sonic Select Book'' series and ''Sonic the Hedgehog: The Complete Sonic Comic Encyclopedia''. In the original print, said story began right off the bat with Sally [[https://vignette.wikia.nocookie.net/sonic/images/f/fe/Source_of_All.jpg/revision/latest/scale-to-width-down/180?cb=20121201000751 having just disrobed herself on-panel]] in preparation for entering the well, who appears this way for most of its duration. Despite the fact that Sally was already an AccessoryWearingCartoonAnimal to begin with (and her default outfit, a pair of boots and an open vest, didn't leave her any less exposed save for her feet), each illustration depicting her in the reprints was edited to have her [[AdaptationalModesty wear something for the entirety of the story]], even if it's only her signature vest. This wasn't because of the nudity itself, but rather because Sally's unclothed state was treated by the story as '''genuine''' female nudity for {{fanservice}}, as opposed to the artistically-licensed kind exhibited by other similarly-dressed {{Funny Animal}}s.

*** In ''The Broken Ear'', Tintin at one point dresses up in blackface and poses as a member of the ship's crew. In the Nelvana version, he instead has a fake moustache and a black wig. (The same uniform he used in ''The Calculus Affair'')
*** In ''The Red Sea Sharks'', the slavery plot is still kept in - however, rather than tricking African muslims into trying to make a pilgrimage to Mecca, instead they are refugees trying to find asylum in America. This actually makes the "Slavery" plot even [[AvertedTrope darker]] - especially since there were plenty of wars going on in sub saharan Africa at the time.

* The ''Manga/{{Warrior|CatsManga}}s'' "manga" avoid blood and death. The books themselves are [[FamilyUnfriendlyViolence exceedingly]] [[FamilyUnfriendlyDeath violent]]. They contain cats being disembowled, cats mawled by dogs, cats having their throats slit, [[DeathOfAChild kits drowning]], [[ChildSoldiers three moon old kits being killed in battle]], etc. In one scene in the books [[spoiler:Scourge injures Tigerstar so badly that he bleeds out from bloodloss and he looses ''all nine'' of his lives at once from the graveness of the injuries]]. The manga depiction? Barely any blood at all. [=TokyoPOP=] has enforced this, such as making one of the artist's censor a dead rabbit because they thought it was too unnerving for kids.

* A pair of issues of ''ComicBook/TransformersMoreThanMeetsTheEye'' included with the Generations toys of Trailcutter and Hoist edit out references to guns, death and alcohol, a single "damn" said from Sunstreaker and the in-universe explanation about why Trailbreaker changed his name to Trailcutter (the last one because Hasbro can't use the Trailbreaker name anymore).

* In''ComicBook/SpiderMan'' #16 in which he teams X-Force to stop Juggernaut's rampage, ''Creator/ToddMcFarlane'''s original artwork when Shatterstar stabs Juggernaut in the eye with his sword was much more graphic, we actually see the sword piece his eye and he pulls it out with blood dripping from the wound, the editors forced him to change it so we don't see the action, in the final printed version we see the sword heading towards his eye and a panel of blood splashing against a wall.

* Here you find the original [[http://www.wilhelm-busch-seiten.de/werke/bilderbogen/alpha.html "Naturgeschichtliches Alphabet"]] of Wilhelm Busch, one of Germans very famous cartoonists. Look at item "Z" where you find your standard crooked-nosed Jew (Busch was your run-of-the-mill antisemite, to his only defense, he lived long before the [[UsefulNotes/AdolfHitler other guy]]) and an rhymed assertion that Jews like onions (and zebras you find somewhere, somewhere not). Oy gevalt! James Krüss (reknowned German children book author) in a reprint changed the "Juden/jews" into "nicht jedes/not anybody's", ruining the metrum on the fly. [[note]] Unfortunately research did not yield whether the drawing was in that book. If yes, the example would only get more egregious. [[/note]]
