Brian Cronin on Comic Book Resources has uncovered a race fail from the 1970s, courtesy of DC Comics. A survey in Justice League of America #83 (which likely also appeared in other DC titles of the time) features a number of standard questions marketers use to get to know their audience. In the above scan, we see Question 5 asks kids what they’re interested in reading about. Among “Hobbies” and social issues, we have “Black People” as a potential topic of interest to young readers. Check out CBR for a decent scan of the full survey.
