The Drunna story from the previous issue was confiscated at the Canadian border because of depictions of sex and violence. Having seen the issue in question, I know exactly what panels they had issues with; they contain several graphic depictions of rape, including one panel that contains very graphic language and no images, which was actually worse.
Of course, Heavy Metal got on their anti-censorship high-horse about the whole thing. To that end, they published several pieces from the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. The cause and reaction don’t seem to quite line up very well, but what are you going to do?
