BACKGROUND:
Culture Publications was the name of a publishing business owned by Harry Donenfeld which released titles such as "French Art Classics". But, who is Harry Donenfeld? Comic book fans will know him as the publisher of Detective Comics Inc (DC), which company brought the world Superman and Batman. But Donenfeld also was involved in other publishing and printing ventures. These include publishing "Spicy Stories", "La Paree Stories", and "Pep Stories" in the early 1930's, and later the entire Spicy line of Detective, Mystery, Western, and Adventure pulp magazines. These would later be renamed the Speed line. For more detailed information on Donenfeld, please visit www.supermanartists.comics.org.
What we will be reprinting for this section will include items from the Culture line, but also other publishers who brought out similar material. Most of these will be from the late 1920's and early 1930's.
