This would be parallel to the practice of comic book publishers who had "Approved by the Comics Code Authority" on the covers of their magazines for some years. The Code went through various versions, with rules such as that women were to be drawn realistically, without exaggeration of physical attributes, that vampires, werewolves, etc. would not appear, that the stories and art would not be gruesome, and so on. The curious development was that one ended up with a threefold presentation of comics. There were the "funny animal" and TV tie-in comics from Gold Key, which did not carry the Code stamp, presumably because the publisher thought no one would figure that they needed it. There were the superhero comics, Westerns, etc. from Marvel, DC, and Charlton with the Code stamp. And there were the horror comics from Warren and other companies, not displayed with the first two groups of comics, which in varying degrees sort of flaunted their non-Code content.<br /><br />Dale NelsonWurmbrandhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17345523517796356674noreply@blogger.com
