I remember seeing it stamped onto the upper-right corner of issues of titles from The Amazing Spider-Man to reprints of Carl Barks' Scrooge McDuck stories... But back when it was created, in 1954, it had as much restrictive power over the content of comic books as the "Hays Code" once had over motion pictures.
The Comics Code was implemented in response to one publisher above all: EC Comics, whose grim and graphic titles like Tales from the Crypt and The Vault of Horror made both a big impact on popular culture and a dent in the reputation of the comics industry.
