Notes
Colour Comics one of many companies listed by the KG Murray Publishing Company as publishers or "proprietors" for its comics and magazines. Most are named after specific publications, with this name most likely derived from Murray's early and brief experimentation with colour in titles such as Captain Triumph and Superman. The company's earliest listing in the comics' indicia is within the first year of these series, although the famous Colour Comics logo did not appear until over a year later.
