National Organization for Decent Literature
The National Organization for Decent Literature was an American pressure group active in campaigning for the censorship of literature. A successor organization to the National Legion of Decency, it was largely led by Roman Catholic priests. The NODL was founded in 1938, and ran until the late 1960s. It is famous for banning Madame Bovary in 1954. It campaigned against pulp magazines, comic books and what its leaders saw as indecent literature in general.
In March 1942 it put Sensation Comics on its blacklist of Publications Disapproved for Youth for one reason: Wonder Woman was not sufficiently dressed.
