Holyoke is a Myth...
JVJ (RIP):
Sadly, it seems that this thread has reached the end of the spool. I hope it wasn't something I said. I'd really like to know more of how the machinations of the underworld affected the guys at the typewriters and drawing boards. Neither group worked in a vacuum and it would be beneficial to our understanding of the history to try to synchronize the sequence of occurrences in both worlds.

I, too, would love to see this go further. At some point I will be working on improving the publisher data fields at the GCD and would like to make it possible to capture the most useful information on publishers and on what was going on behind the scenes. The stuff that's printed in the comics is easy to figure out. The behind-the-scenes stuff, however, is not something I understand at all well enough to design database fields to capture it.
We tentatively plan ways to record "associations" of various sorts so that we can show things more realistically than just dumping some corporate names in a bucket and labeling the bucket with something like "Holyoke" or "Temerson". But it's not clear to me what sort of associations are really worth recording and how.

Well, that's another fine myth... ;-)
Henry Andrews (fox_centaur):
Vol. 1 No. 6 August, 1941
GREEN HORNET COMICS is published monthly by Helnit Publishing Co., Inc., at Meriden, Conn. Entered as second
class matter at the Post Office at Meriden, Conn. Entire contents copyright 1941 by Helnit Publishing Co., Inc. for Green
Hornet, Inc. Editorial office 381 Fourth Avenue, New York City. Single copies 10 cents, yearly subscription $1.00 in U.S.A.
Printed in the U.S.A. For advertising rates address Helnit Publishing Co., Inc., 381 Fourth Avenue, New York City.
:-)
So there you have some level of explanation for the confusion over "Helnit Publishing Co., Inc." vs "Green Hornet, Inc."
Back cover is an ad for "The Green Hornet", "The Cat-Man Comics" and ("NEW!!!") Captain Fearless Comics (oddly sans quotes).
Also in this shipment, Power Comics #4 and Contact Comics #2, neither of which I've even pulled out of mylar yet.
