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. The United States Senate held hearings on comic books in response to a mounting anti-comics furor ongoing since 1950. William Friedman appeared at these Senate 'comic book' hearings in April-June 1954 and gave testimony. Soon after, he and his fellow lawyers quit the publishing business and Friedman-owned titles were switched to CDC distribution while the Stricof-owned titles switched to Kable News. This left Adrian Lopez (in business since 1938) to become a publisher of popular, mainly non-comics, magazines. 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 April 1949, Western Comics, Inc. was first company of the group to publish, with Pix Parade, Inc. following in August 1949. Youthful Magazines, Inc., is the third company of the group to publish, in May 1950. By that time, both Pix Parade, Inc. and Western Comics, Inc. have changed their editorial offices to the same indicia address used by Youthful.\r\n\r\nIn June 1952, Stamp Comics, Inc. becomes the eighth company to publish, using the same indicia address as Youthful.\r\n\r\nIn August 1953, Bimfort, Inc. becomes the eleventh company to publish, using the same editorial address as Youthful.\r\n\r\nThere are 4 Statements of Ownership available for Youthful Magazines, Inc. All list 105 East 35th Av, NY NY as the address, the same as its indicia address. All list Adrian B. Lopez as owner. There are 2 Statements of Ownership available for Western Comics. These list various combinations of the Friedmans, Stricofs, George Ungar and Adrian B. Lopez as owners under a variety of addresses including 105 East 35th Av, NY NY. There is 1 Statement of Ownership available for Pix Parade. It lists Adrian B.
