The war on comics was to censor youth from mature content. However juveniles’ were going to be exposed eventually. Dr. Frederic Wertham a psychologist published, “Seduction of the Innocent.” A book explaining why comic books were detrimental towards youth well being. He became the lead debater against the publication of graphical comics. In order to eradicate the images of violence and crime, the case to censor comic publisher’s was taken to the US Senate. A Senate committee held hearings for both concerned parties. The result was that the publishing companies self police their publications. Thus creating the Comic Code Authority (CCA) which embodied the standard for comics. The CCA stamped every book that adhered to their guidelines excluding the once popular horror genre. Stores and Newstands would just not accept titles without the CCA approval stamp. Small horror publishers ran out of business while others adapted and survived. Notable publisher Marvel Comics toned their content down to adhere to the CCA guidelines and EC Comics adapted into a magazine which is still featured today as Mad. Even with companies going out of business and the industry in a crippled state. Dr. Wertham didn’t approve of the CCA’s creation, complaining there were still unsettling elements being published. This villain had thwarted the breadth creative comics forcing a change to the industry.
