Changes

On October 26th, 1954, the Comics Magazine Association of America, Inc. formed the Comics Code Authority and the Comic Code to self-regulate the [[comic book]] industry <ref>http://www.comicartville.com/comicscode.htm Comic Code</ref>. Since that time the Comic Code has been updated and amended to allow for things like the depiction of narcotics or homosexuality, but the purpose remains the same. No publishers use the code anymore. [[Marvel Comics]] dropped the CCA in favor of its own ratings system.

Since that time the Comicd Code updated and amended to allow for things like the depiction of narcotics or homosexuality, but the purpose remained the same. The code gradually lost support due to the growing trend in darker comics such as Frank Millar's Dark Knight comics and Alan Moore's Watchmen and Swamp thing saga, which were exempt from the code due to their strong violence, adult language and sexual themes.  No publishers use the code anymore. [[Marvel Comics]] dropped the CCA in favor of its own ratings system.
