Leverett Gleason and his Comic House publications might not have published many titles, but the ones they did such as Daredevil Comics, Silver Streak Comics, Crime Does Not Pay and Boy comics were all highly popular. Ironically the success of the Crime Does Not Pay series led to the downfall of the company, since it was one of the targets of Frederick Wertham, author of 'Seduction of the Innocent', and the Senate Kefauver hearings, which ushered in censorship by the Comics Code Authority and changed the face of the comics industry.
