Tyrannosaurus Reich

Tyrannosaurus Reich was actually a D.C. comic super villian who destroys a section of downtown before being sent back to his alternate Nazi Dinosaur dimension by a house cat that becomes giant when agitated. What happened to comics of this nature? He is definitely an offensive character, but it is a serious villian for a series. T. Reich only appeared in one issue and probably would have lasted longer had his lines been more easily translatable from German. I can't figure out whether its too racy or really just a geat social commentary. I feel like D.C. Comics should have the right to make story lines that are controversial like the story of T. Reich but it certainly is an uncomfortable subject.
