** Related is the idea that the CCA went after EC because they sold comics based around SplatterHorror and [[SexSells cleavage]]. EC certainly pushed boundaries on those fronts, which the MoralGuardians used to villify them... but the stories that really upset a certain variety of authority were their scathing social commentaries like "Judgement Day" and "Let the Punishment Fit the Crime!". Subverting traditional values, indeed.

* WhatDoYouMeanItsNotForKids: Their comics were targeted towards people who were at least teenagers due to their dark and gory content and political messages, but newstands often sold them alongside more family-friendly comics due to immediately association the medium with children, which set off a wave of MoralGuardians panicking as a result of incompetence.
