I found this today. It was a moral code the comic book industry self imposed to keep crime as evil in comic books. Basically, all the most popular names in comic books would not have a job. Well, at least Frank Miller and his re-imagination of Batman and a lot Alan Moore's work.
In class we talked about the evolution of the superhero into the flawed superhero over time. This code obviously no longer enforced (some thanks goes to Stan Lee), but I think this code is a testament to what superheroes were created for in the USA: to defeat juvenile delinquency.
Go America?
