Publishing was one of the handful of short-lived late Golden Age entrants into the world of comic publishing. They were only operating the latter half of 1951, and not a lot is known about the company itself, including just what ÒP.L.Ó represents (ÒPete and LarryÓ?  ÒPositively LudicrousÓ?).  Often they are mistakenly called a Canadian company because the pages were printed in Canada, but the evidence shows the pages were assembled in the US, published by a US company, and distributed to a US audience.  They operated out of the same Rockefeller Center offices as other comic companies, but the connection, if any, is not known.\u003c\/p\u003e  \n\n\u003cp\u003eThe Grand Comics Database doesn't indicate that any of the stories are reprints or leftovers from other series', but there are similarities to some other late-40s series which raise a little doubt about whether some of the stories were unpublished works from cancelled titles elsewhere.
