Wind, George Ungar, Adrian B. Lopez, and Morton Myers. In some combination or other, they owned all these titles. They frequently changed ownership and addresses of both publication offices and editorial offices. Several titles were run from the same office at times or were next door to other of the titles. Some titles moved from one publisher to another. Researcher Bob Hughes has described the group as, “A circular group of owners hiding behind a lot of fake addresses.”\r\n\r\nMichael Estrow was the president of Leader News, the distributor of the majority of these titles, who probably provided financing as distributors often did. At some point, Friedman-owned titles were switched to CDC distribution while the Stricof-owned titles switched to Kable News. After the Senate 'comic book' hearings in April-June 1954 (where Friedman appeared) the new company of Merit was created to help Friedman’s companies remove any taint of the hearings. Some comic titles were moved to Merit for their final issues.\r\n\r\nIn January 1953, Stanhall Publications, Inc. becomes the tenth company of the group to publish, using the same indicia address as Ribage, of 480 Lexington Av, NY NY.
