I highly suggest watching those two videos I linked. They are long, but the dude goes into great detail about what happened and the characteristics of the comics. And he is easy to listen to. They are definitely worth your time.
But in short yes, towns burned a lot of them because they were just too damn dangerous. And after the supreme court case they went off sale in the US. That's also the reason Superhero comics were big. Because no other good comics could be made after that shit show, and after companies stepped into to create a rating system that if not listened to, would get your comics off the stands. If memory serves me right there were over 500 comic companies, and after that it was whittled down to a bit over 200. They drove a lot of people out of business.
