Introduction
This page is intended to preserve information about publishing companies and their relationships and practices that either does not fit into the GCD proper or is not yet understood thoroughly enough to be entered. The data should be organized alphabetically by the publishing "group" name (i.e. common names like DC and Marvel that include a number of historical corporations and imprints).
Wherever possible, information here should cite references, even if only to a thread on a mailing list on a particular day.
General Relationships
The following table is for listing relationships among publishers, imprints, surrogates, distributors, etc. When the new schema is implemented, this will be used in addition to the information that currently fits in our database.
The "Relationship" column should be read by placing it between "Entity One" and "Entity Two", i.e. "Marvel Publishing, Inc. is a subsidiary of Marvel Entertainment, Inc.", "R. W. Voigt was a surrogate for Fox".
Entity One | Relationship | Entity Two | Duration | Comments | References | |
