Found this site and want to draw your attention to two books here.
Many of the books here I don't endorse, some I do.

But i was looking for the publisher of
The Weird World of Eerie Publications
https://feralhouse.com/the-weird-world-of-eerie-publications/
This is an in-depth look at the publishing career of Myron Fass. I wouldn't have picked these up off the stands, even if they were available in early 60's Australia, which I doubt.
The Weird World of Eerie Publications introduces the reader to Myron Fass, the gun-toting megalomaniac publisher who, with tyranny and glee, made a career of fishing pocketbook change from young readers with the most insidious sort of exploitation. You?ll also meet Carl Burgos, who, as editor of Eerie Publications, ground his axe against the entire comics industry. Slumming comic art greats and unknown hacks were both employed by Eerie to plagiarize the more inspired work of pre-Code comic art of the 1950s.
The book has many illustrations and is an invaluable reference guide to most artists and writers who worked for Myron Fass, with biographical articles on most, if not all of them.
These include:-
Myron Fass, Carlos Burgos, Dick Ayres, Chic Stone, Oscar Fraga, Argrentine Artists Walter Casadei, Antonio Reynoso, Oscar Stepancich, Ciriilo Munoz, Oswal, Oscar Antonio Novelle, and Torre Repiso. Also Johnny Bruck, 'Perry Rhodan cover artist. 'who had more than 30 Eerie pubs covers to his credit, whether he knew it or not." Spanish artist, Fernando Fernandez, Brazilian Alberto Macagno.
And at that point I got tired and stopped the listing, but there are more.
Two other books that might interest members os CB+ are

Never before seen in an English or even Spanish-language collection are the often surreal and psychedelic images of extraterrestrials, robots, dinosaurs, dastardly killers, Zorro, Santo, and many other icons from stories involving suspense, mystery, romance and the supernatural.
Mexican Pulp Art features some of the most striking paintings of this sensational art form of the ?60s and ?70
And a collection of Funnyman.
