Have you seen this before. A useful source of publisher data... Source: From: US Congress. Senate. Committee on the Judiciary. Juvenile Deliquency. 1955-6. Library of Congress Catalogue Card Number 77-90720 Information obtained by the subcommitee indicates that, while there are 112 seemingly seperate and distinct corporations engaged in the publication of comic books, these corporations, through such decices as common-stock holders and officer and family ties are in fact owned and controlled by a relatively small group of men and women. Thus the 676 comic-book titles are published by 111 corporations owned by only 121 persons or families in addition to 1 coporation which has many stockholders.
