Harvey Comics

Harvey Comics Group 1941-1994 --- Harvey Comics was founded by the Harvey brothers; Alfred, Leon and Robert, in the 1940s after first acquiring Speed Comics from Brookwood Publications. Harvey began a shift to licensed characters when in 1942 they took over as the radio hero Green Hornet's publisher from Holyoke after six issues. Harvey added additional titles such that most of their titles were licensed. The company ultimately became best known for characters it published in comics from 1950s onward, particularly those it licensed from the animation company Famous Studios, a unit of Paramount Pictures, starting in 1951. -From Wikipedia
