Fox Feature Syndicate

Fox Feature Syndicate, Inc. 1939-1951 --- Fox Feature Syndicate (also known as Fox Comics, Fox Publications, and Bruns Publications, Inc.) was a comic-book publisher from the early Golden Age started by Victor S. Fox and business associate Bob Farrell. For content, Fox contracted with comics packager Eisner & Iger for their first books. Fox's first publication, Wonder Comics #1 (May 1939) contained a Superman knock-off Wonder Man. DC sued claiming he was an illegal copy of Superman. After losing at trial, Victor Fox dropped Eisner and Iger, and hired his own stable of comic creators. Fox would be known for his low page rate and poor quality control. Actual years of activity were mid-1939 to early 1942 (mostly as Fox Publications, inc.) and mid-1944 to 1951 (mostly as Fox Feature Syndicate, Inc.), with "Blue Beetle" being published by Holyoke Publishing Co., Inc. in the interim. 1944 and to a lesser extent 1945 saw a great deal of activity through surrogate publishers, mostly in the form of giant-size (128 or 196 page) issues alongside the return of an actual Fox publishing company. Following the establishment of Comics Code Authority in the mid-1950s, Fox went out of business, selling the rights to the Blue Beetle to Charlton Comics. -From Wikipedia
