Hope the whole situation works out.  If I was your librarian, I'd be 
breathing a sigh of relief for two reasons:
1.  You handled the situation tactfully instead of coming in screaming that 
this filth should not be available in our public libraries for just anyone to 
read, since it is a comic book and 5-year-olds might mistakenly check it out 
and read it and irreparably damaging his little psyche.
2.  By pointing out the situation, you allowed them to remedy it before 
someone else had the chance to handle it less tactfully.

Always remember that, in general, librarians tend to want people to have 
access to as much information as possible, be that in the form of books, graphic 
novels, or websites.  I'd imagine they'd be happy to be able to prevent a 
situation in which someone makes a fuss about completely removing a book from the 
library because it is inappropriate for the younger library patrons.
