The Comics Code Authority

The comic code came out of some legislative hearings that were in 19 54. The major publishers decided to peremptively strike against the government and create their own inhouse programme. And basically this was forty one provisions that they wrote up that purged sex and violent from comics. For instance you weren't allowed to use certain kinds of slang, logalisms. You could only receive the seal of approval on the front of your comic if it passed this group. There was even like grammar police type stuff going in there.
