Not surprising.  Dell's standards were much more strict than almost all of the publishers that did join that group.  Their own "Dell Comics Pledge To Parents" more or less intimated that point.

Dell was the number 1 comic book company when the Comics Code was formed by 'lesser companies', they were powerful enough to not be forced into the code and their general standards and popular titles meant that no retailer was going to pass up stocking Dell (and later Gold Key) for not having a Code seal.

According to Comic Book Artist #22 during the Kefauver comic book hearings, they basically said, "We have nothing to do with that filth."
