marvel 14: super heroes vs. censorship
synopsis
"Marvel 14: super héros contre la censure" ("Marvel 14: super heroes against censorship") is a documentary that sorts all informations available about the mythical issue #14 of French comic Marvel that was published by Lug Editions and, because of a ban by censorship in 1971, has never been released. An urban legend about that particular issue still lives on.
Has it been destroyed after it has been printed? Did some copies have been stolen or sold before it's been trashed? Since the 70's, generations of comics fans are searching for that mythical issue. The documentary brings light to the true story of Marvel #14 while stepping back into 70's France, when censorship was really powerful through the July 16th, 1949's law and the "Commission for printed material for childs"...
In a time when censorship and bans are rising again in the news, the documentary takes its whole sense.
