Anglo-American Publishing
Anglo-American Publishing was a Canadian comic book publisher during the World War II era. While they published a number of Canadian creations, they also printed Canadian reworkings of scripts bought from American publisher Fawcett Comics. History
American comic books were barred from crossing the border into Canada when the War Exchange Conservation Act was passed in December 1940. In order to fill in the void and supply Canadian kids' appetite for comic books, Anglo-American and Maple Leaf Publishing started publishing comics in March 1941. Anglo-American's first title in March was Robin Hood and Company, a tabloid-sized publication that reprinted comic strips, chief amongst them Robin Hood and Company by Toronto Telegram'''s Ted McCall, which had been running in Canadian newspapers since 1935. Amongst Anglo-American's characters were Freelance, Commander Steel, Purple Rider, Red Rover, Kip Keene, Terry Kane and Dr Destine. See also
