Wait, a story with Catwoman and Batgirl in a club where they’re nude, but the art strategically covers any naughty bits, isn’t appropriate for a 12-year-old boy?

Because it sounds like the kind of story that would be *ideal* for most 12-year-old boys. Indeed, it’s probably the story most of them have been waiting to read ever since puberty hit.

From the newspaper story about the mostly naked Batgirl and Catwoman story: “The library sells a variety of donated materials but makes an effort to screen items before offering them to the public. If screeners find something off-color, they send the items to Goodwill or the Salvation Army.” – They send *off-color* items to *the Salvation Army.*

@Jason:
Although the CCA seal doesn’t help either since Green Lantern will sometimes be CCA approved and sometimes not despite a steady level of violence.

DC doesn’t rate its books, though they still use the Comics Code Authority. So your only hint that this comic might contain risque material would be the lack of a CCA seal.

Aha, thanks for that – the only scans I could find were too small/blurry for me to tell. Guess that means said people in the comments were either speculating or talking out of their bottoms.

$30? Damn, looks like inflation has hit the Hulk.

snif* Gong to miss responding “Same as in town” everytime he told a customer $20.

Here's a scan of the cover from Comics.org. I don't see a rating.

“A DC Comics spokesperson says the series is for ages 16 and up, but the cover doesn’t sport a rating.”

Several people have commented on the linked story saying the comic does have a rating, though; M, for mature.

The description of the Penthouse article is almost a Haiku.
