History of the Comics Code Authority (CCA) | Comic Misconceptions
Added 2015-02-17 04:29:50 +0000 UTCIn the 1940s and 50s, comic books were under attack! There was a movement that believed comics were harmful to children and were the cause of juvenile delinquency in American youth. This crusade was led by Dr. Fredric Wertham, author of Seduction of the Innocent, and it eventually led to the creation of the Comics Code Authority. The CCA was a super strict set of guidelines that comic book publishers had to follow in order to get any of their issues distributed. It also helped shape the face of comics to how we know it today. Let's learn about this incredibly important chapter in the history of comic books and shed some light on the true motivations of Fredric Wertham! Every Wednesday, Comic Misconceptions explores the fun trivia, interesting ideas, and mind-blowing theories regarding comic books and the rich history and culture that surrounds them!
