CBLDF Acquire Code

CBDLF acquire Comics Code Authority Seal

 

Comic Book Legal Defense Fund has acquired the intellectual property rights to the Comics Code Authority from the Comic Magazine Association of America, which shut down earlier this year. The Code represented a half century period of self-censorship brought on by the Congressional hearings in the early 50s. The CMAA disbanded after the last two remaining publishers, DC and Archie, stopped using the code and left the organization early this year,  while Marvel dropped the code ten years ago.

 

CBLDF is currently licensing Graphitti designs to offer t-shirts with images of the code symbol that benefit the Fund.
