Comicmarks
An early pioneer of the Golden Age comic book publishers, Eastern had a business printing the color comic strip supplements to newspapers, and were among the first to repackage reprints in comic book form, initially as promotional give-aways for clients. FUNNIES ON PARADE and FAMOUS FUNNIES led the way to the explosion of Golden Age publishers. Eastern produced original books, ceasing in early 1956, a result of clashes with the Comic Code Authority and declining sales. They continued printing other publisher's materials until 1973.
