   By
Frank Johnson served in the Australian Imperial Force during World War I. On returning to civilian life, he decided to get involved in the book trade, and worked in the offices of Dymocks (one of the large book retailers, which still has bricks-and-mortar stores to this day) with a rage of duties, including editing and preparing for print in-house poetry collections. He eventually left to found his own company, Frank Johnson Publishing, from which he published books, magazine and comics. It was largely a one-man operation, with occasional assistance from family members, creatives and even a secretary. He had a good eye for comics artists and writers, and made a substantial mark on the Australian comics industry. When comics became unviable, he closed his company. Later, after Frank passed, the State Library of NSW acquired Frank's papers, which are held in their collection. In 2015, the library mounted an exhibition based on these papers, and on Frank's life and his publications. The printed guide to this exhibition, 'Pulp Confidential', is available in pdf online at https:www2.sl.nsw.gov.au/archive/events/exhibitions/2015/pulp_confidential/docs/slnsw_pulp_guide.pdf It's an interesting read, with numerous illustrations from his publications
