It told you what you needed to know without repeating what you did know and all you can do is whine?

I've noticed that GCD tends to list the publisher as noted in the indice in the comic. Since those were often separate entities created to limit liability, Overstreet puts them all under a single corporate entity such as Timely, Nedor, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gifflefunk Posted February 18, 2006 Share Posted February 18, 2006 RURAL HOME PUBLISHING Rural Home Publishing was a group of small publishers in a fluid partnership, using pre-packaged material and operating under the banner of Rural Home with the leading partner apparently being Enwil Associates. This loose group of publishers consisted of: Almanac (q.v.); Rewl Publications Carlton *; Circus Comics E.R. Ross Publishing (q.v.); Enwil Associates Farm Women's Publishing; Gail Hillson Jay Burtis; L.L. Baird ; Narrative Magazines Public Recreations; Rewl Publications Universal Comics Group Orbit Publications Croydon Publications First let’s take a look at the "umbrella" company Rural Home and its titles. Blazing Comics Blue Circle Comics Red Band Comics Variety Comics Red Circle Comics Cannonball Comics Mask Comics Power Comics Meteor Comics Zoom Comics Circus Comics Eagle Comics Laffy Daffy Comics Merry Comics Patches Comics Taffy Comics This ends the "formal" RURAL HOME Publishing books. Here is a look at the co-op of "associated" publishers that made up the Rural Home partnerships for the years 1944-1946 with a brief look at some of the titles published individually by these companies. Atomic Bomb Comics Funland Comics #1 Life's Like That Comics Merry-Go-Round Comics Miss Cairo Jones Nebbs # 1 World Famous Stories Comics El Bombo Comics # 1 Snappy Comics # 1 Sparkman Comics # 1 Judo Joe Navy Heroes Medal of Honor Top Spot Comics K.O. Comics Triple Threat Comics Hi-Lite Comics # 1 Tailspin Comics # 1 Gem Comics # 1 Love Diary Comics 1949-1955 Love Journal Comics 1951-1954 Patches (issue # 2 on) 1945-1947 Taffy (issue # 2 on) 1945-1948 Toy Town Comics 1945-1947 Wanted Comics 1947-1953 Westerner Comics 1948-1951 This ends the co-op of "associated" publishers of the Rural Home Group. source: The now defunct PR PUBLICATIONS website.

gifflefunk Posted February 18, 2006 Share Posted February 18, 2006 I've always looked upon that group of publishers as the Universal Comics Group and Rural Home Publishing as just one of the companies affiliated with that group. More research into this area is definitely required IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
