Science fiction comic books, strips, etc.; Erotic comic books, strips, etc.; Horror comic books, strips, etc.

The subdivision --Comic books, strips, etc. is free-floating under topical headings. The proposals to add UF references from Science fiction--Comic books, strips, etc.; Erotic stories--Comic books, strips, etc.; and Horror tales--Comic books, strips, etc. suggest that use of this subdivision could be valid under form headings for fictional genres. The Library of Congress does not use this subdivision under form headings and makes no distinction for comic books and strips between fictional and nonfiction works. The proposed references were not approved.
