Comics Campaign Council The Comics Campaign Council was a British pressure group formed in 1953 in response to growing concern about the effects of imported American horror comics such as "The Vault of Horror" and "The Haunt of Fear" on British youths. At the time, the comics industry was largely unregulated, a situation that the Comics Campaign Council sought to rectify. Prior to the formation of the CCC, the majority of political campaigning on the issue had been by front organisations of the Communist Party of Great Britain, who objected to the "thoroughly pernicious influence" of "American-style [...] that wallow in crime, horror, violence and sex". Such concerns were largely dismissed by the government; a memorandum issued by the Home Secretary, Gwilym Lloyd George described the overall effect of such comics as being "a matter of opinion rather than of fact".
