 Alter Ego #61 Review - Silver Bullet Comics
Beginning in the shop system of the 1940s, and evolving into the Pines/Standard/Nedor comics lines in the 1940s, ACG survived all the way to 1967 with a small but interesting line of comics.
By the '50s, ACG was publishing mainly horror titles, series affected dramatically by the fortunes of EC Comics and the belief that horror comics caused (what used to be called) juvenile delinquency.
As romance, horror and super-hero comics start to ascend in popularity, there's a feeling of ACG jumping aboard popular trends, working to piggyback on the genres for their own ends.

No, DC didn't quietly acquire another stable of comic characters as they had done with the Charlton characters in the late 80s by buying them outright, the Nedor characters are themselves in a unique position in terms of copyright: They are in the public domain, and can therefore be freely used by anyone.
Aside from a few superstars, comic artists and writers were scratching by, and were immensely more concerned with putting food on the table and keeping a roof over their head than securing the rights of ownership for a pulp knockoff they jotted down when the publisher came looking for a comic book hero.
The Nedor heroes have bubbled up a few times in the decades since their journey into the public domain, from Ace Comics and First Comics to Eclipse and currently, AC Comics.

 CGC Volume 2, Issue 5 E-Newsletter
The vast pulp, paperback and comic book publishing empire of the Ned Pines Company – usually known as the Thrilling Group in the pulps, Popular Library in the paperbacks and Better or Nedor in the comics – produced three long-running Golden Age anthology titles.
All three titles – Thrilling Comics, Exciting Comics and Startling Comics – were anchored by super heroes and for a decade were among the leaders in their field, in sales if not always the quality of the stories and art.
Most of the Better/Nedor anthology comics and many others were primarily distinguished by dozens of wonderful Alex Schomburg covers up to 1949, especially those with World War II scenes.

 Don Markstein's Toonopedia: Mary Marvel
The story was written by Captain Marvel veteran Otto Binder, whose many contributions to comics include the female superheroes Supergirl (from DC Comics) and Miss America (Marvel).
In 1947, she lost her series in Wow Comics, which began emphasizing humor features; and in '48, after 28 issues, her own comic was replaced on the schedule by one starring the western hero Monte Hale.
But she stayed in Marvel Family until the end, which came in January, 1954, as a result of Fawcett getting out of the comic book business (after having had enough of the Superman copyright infringement lawsuit DC had been waging for well over a decade).

 Comics from November 2002
First, I'm no good at telling just by looking at a particular comic whether it looks familiar because I already own it or it looks familiar simply because I have seen it at dealers' tables far too often.
I've included all of the footers, so when a title is repeated here it usually indicates multiple pages of data in the list.
The items that are not italicized are an artist's name, or a character's name, or a theme -- these are all points at which I shelve some comics rather than at their strictly-alphabetical locations.

 Question to Old timers or Golden Age fans in general - Comic Book Resources Forums   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-19)
There were a horde of publishers back then all producing a horde of heroes (sometimes a rather small horde, to be true...).
The Archie heroes, Fighting American, Airboy, The Heap, Hoppy the Marvel Bunny, Skyman, etc., all have had brief returns to comics only to vanish again for long periods of time.
For example, the rights to Fu Manchu are still controlled by the Sax Rohmer estate, which is why Marvel can't reprint their old Master of Kung-Fu series that featured Fu and why the character wasn't refered to by name in The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen.
