"Disc Jockey"...Before and After...

Remember when "disc" could mean "flying saucer" or "lp record".
Or both...
Tonite, we present another case of crazy censorship by the Comics Code Authority!
First, the original version of the story, as it appeared in Harvey Comics' Black Cat Mystery #46 (1947)...
OK, a straightforward tale of just desserts illustrated by comics legend Bob Powell.
Nothing too gory or gross.
But the Comics Code Authority thought otherwise!
When the tale was reprinted in Harvey Comics' Race for the Moon #1 (1958), there were some odd art changes to the aliens...
As we said, some odd art changes to make the aliens less-insectoid...which really made no sense!
