I noticed one of the books in the previous pages had a reference to Horatio Alger. I was curious about the connection to Street and Smith and a little internet research indicated they were his original publisher. I had no idea that Street and Smith had such a long publishing history going back to 1855 with many of the cheap publications that preceded the comic book. It all makes sense but there is always something new to learn.

Yeah, they go way back. They were probably the earliest founded publisher that later published comics, which is more apprehend when considering that publishers like Fawcett were founded in 1919.

Nice group of Shadows Brian! I recently picked up my first one and it is really quite a nicely done series.
