It was a wholly owned subsidiary of J.B. Powers, Inc., both located at 345 Madison Ave., in New York. The year of their first activity has not yet been determined but is probably in the early to mid-1940s. ENS continued publication in the United States through the end of 1957 when the actual printing moved from Eastern Color Printing to La Prensa in Mexico. Export Newspaper Service is known to have published material originated by Magazine Enterprises, Lev Gleason, Fiction House, EC, Dell, Quality Comics, and Charlton. Their publications are known to have been distributed in the United States (California, Texas, and Puerto Rico at least) as well as in Latin America. Issues usually have no cover price but are priced 10¢ in the indicia and have subscription information in US dollars. Copies are sometimes found with rubber-stamped cover prices. Advertising is generally in Spanish but is for American companies. \r\n\r\nExport Newspaper Service, or ENS, continued as an imprint of La Prensa well into the 1960s. Hard evidence has yet to emerge that the Mexican produced comics were distributed in the United States but, given that the advertising was initially still for companies in the States, it seems likely they continued to be sold in Spanish speaking areas in the USA. Mexican issues were distributed all over Latin America and possibly in other Spanish speaking countries.
