Comics Code Authority (CCA) dibentuk pada 1954 oleh Comics Magazine Association of America sebagai sebuah alternatif dari regulasi pemerintah. CCA memperkenankan penerbit komik untuk meregulasi sendiri konten buku komik di Amerika Serikat. Pengaturan tersebut bersifat sukarela, karena tak ada hukum yang mewajibkan pemakaiannya, meskipun beberapa pengiklan dan pengecer memandangnya untuk peninjauan ulang. Beberapa penerbit yang meliputi Dell, Western, dan Gilberton (Classics Illustrated), tak pernah memakainya.[1] Pengaturan tersebut, yang umum disebut "Comics Code", berlangsung sampai awal abad ke-21. Pemberlakuan CC disusul kepanikan moral[2] yang berpusat pada serangkaian pemeriksaan Senat dan penerbitan buku psikiatris Fredric Wertham yang berjudul Seduction of the Innocent.
