The one from Springfield, MA. GCD has very little info about the titles. Did they get their material from studios? Does anyone know?

Wikipedia has some information, but take it with a grain of salt, as Wikipedia is not the most reliable of sites.  Their entry on the character Vulcan, for example, includes a link to "Ace Comics" (the title published by David McKay), which in no way ever featured Vulcan from "Ace Comics" (the publisher).  Plenty of other mistakes, too, such as links from character pages to "creators" who weren't even born when the characters were first published.

Ah, ACE has been and is continuingly being overlooked by most historians.
I did a website about their 50s horror books and sampled some info there:

But you find anything. 
They surely had a New York office and they had a staff. 
Aritsts working exclusively for them.
Pre-code horror aficionado and propagator of ACE comic books.
I run a number of websites about pre-code horror. Please follow the links.

They had some heavy hitters working for them! I like their super hero books-Magno seems to be kind of overlooked and he was in about 40 comics total!
