      The 1954 Comics Code imposed strict guidelines on the comic book industry to address public fears over graphic content, leading to the effective ban of horror comics. In response, many creators shifted to black and white formats to bypass these restrictions, allowing for a resurgence of genuine horror storytelling. This shift not only transformed the landscape of comic book artistry but also highlighted the creative ingenuity of artists and writers navigating censorship.
