I don’t know the early history of Frank Temerson’s companies, guys.
Perhaps Hames can give us the nitty gritty facts to add to this outline.
All of this data is taken from the ORIGINAL comics indicias. I’m not allowing myself ANY guessing or extrapolations. My research mode is to
eliminate ANYTHING that doesn’t tie directly to established Temerson/Holyoke/Continental titles:
