Spark Publications

Spark Publications was a short-lived

comic book publisher in the mid-1940s,
during the Golden Age of Comic Books.
The company was established and
owned by Ken Crossen, who was the
creator and writer of the Green Lama.
Most of their comics was produced by a
studio run by Jerry Robinson and Mort
Meskin. Other creators who worked for
Spark included Joseph Greene and Mac
Raboy. The combination of Robinson,
Meskin, and Raboy, using similar styles,
gave Spark's books a sort of house style.
