Publisher comments C-M-O

I'm not sure what you mean by the comment on the C-M-O comics. While I dont own the comic, I do own a very nice and thick C-M-O catalog filled with toys from the 1920s - it was a large mail order catalog store, set up in Chicago to compete with Sears. From what I can tell they got the Comic Corporation of America to produce a comic book for them. Sears used Whitman, and no doubt other stores also used various comic packagers to package comics for them. I had not thought about it till now, but I guess they were Mail Order only (C-M-O stands for Chicago-Mail-Order) do we use the ~ here? or sign,.,..looks like the three ~ SangorShop 14:56, 18 April 2009 (CDT) Steven Rowe

Re: C-M-O

I was mostly just noting that C-M-O was neither an imprint nor an indicia publisher of the Centaur Group, and that those issues (I do own one of them) were in fact published by Comic Corporation of America according to the indicia. I've never seen a copy or scan of Liberty Guards, which some sources say was also "published" by C-M-O (most likely either a mistake or another case of C-M-O commissioning Comic Corporation of America to publish a comic for them). I should probably fix the phrasing as it sounds more mysterious than it is.

As for the ~ character, I used - because that's how it appears to me in the indicia (although I don't have it in front of me at this moment).
