--- Quote from: Bob Hughes on April 07, 2010, 10:03:22 PM ---There's a letter from Allen Ulmer (not Ullman-not a relative, but a Blue Beetle artist) talking about Temerson being at Holyoke and maybe part owner. It's around here somewhere's. Should nail down a copy so it won't float away.

Yes, that Ulmer I know, although I'd forgotten it directly connected Temerson and Holyoke. Good to know.

I don't think this letter does that. It says that Holyoke (Bowles) "took over Temerson's company." I can't see there being a whole lot of "connection" going on there. It's like saying there was a direct connection between Germany and Belgium at the start of WW2. Well, yeah, but it sort of only went one way.

--- Quote from: JVJ on April 07, 2010, 11:04:56 PM ---I didn't ask about "feld" or "field" - the site lists "Rosefeld" (no N). It that a typo or does the indicia spell in without the "N"?

Sorry, missed that and had been reading the feld/field discussion recently so it was on my mind :-)
--- Quote from: JVJ on April 07, 2010, 11:04:56 PM ---Quinlan certainly continues to produce Catman, but what evidence is there for Temerson's continued involvement? I've seen the Ulmer letter, and my take on it is not that Ulmer is saying that Temerson is at Holyoke. Unless you know of another letter, I'm still very leery of placing Temerson the man at Holyoke the publisher.

Reading over this one (it was posted while I was writing my previous reply) I agree that it doesn't make a case for Temerson involved in the titles at Holyoke. He may have been, or he may have been shut out until he managed to get them back for Et-Es-Go. The only clear thing is that editorially/creatively there is continuity.
thanks,

Absolutely an editorial connection, Henry.
I've never doubted that. I try to be very careful with words when discussing this topic as it's been bandied about for decades with much misunderstanding and misinformation being given and taken as fact. So please understand that I'm just trying to be a stickler for the details when I question these things.
By the way, does anyone have a copy of Speed #s 12 or 13? And does either have an Ownership Statement?
And ps, does Rosefeld have the N or not?
pps.

What does "is in its turn out." mean?

Another overdue thank you:
In several prior posts on this topic I've mentioned a "differing opinion" on some connections. The opinions were those of my partner in comics researching crime for the last 40 years, Hames Ware (who is as equally as responsible as Jerry Bails for the original Who's Who of American Comic Books). His speculation, stimulation and mental agility have kept me on my toes and taught me so much over the years. He is very directly, probably even more so than Mark Carlson, responsible for my "knowledge" on this topic (and so very MANY others.

Thanks for the quick fix!

Speed Comics # 11 was published by Brookwood in "August" 1940 (possibly released in June or July, no earlier than May), issue # 12 was published by Speed Publishing Co in "March" 1941 (actual release may have been January or February, no earlier than December 1940), with # 13 following in "May". It looks like the Statement of Ownership form was usually filed in October, but since nobody was publishing Speed Comics at that point, the Statement may not have been filed for 1940.
