Need More Information About Crossen/Spark/Fact&Fiction Publications

I know that author Ken Crossen had an ownership stake in all 3 of these comic book publishing companies (Crossen/Spark/Fact&Fiction Publications).  I'd like to find out if any titles other than "Green Lama", "Atoman", "Golden Lad", and "Comicland", were released by his publishing companies, and, especially, if they released more comedy-based series than just the single issue of Comicland Comics #1.  I'd also like to find out anything about the owners, distributors, packaging studios used, artists, writers, and editorial staff, as well as any connection with a larger publisher.

I know that Crossen was writing "Green Lama" stories for Pulp publishers before he started writing that character's comic book stories, and he also wrote for mystery and suspense-oriented radio shows, mystery novels of Milo March (Insurance Investigator), and many Science Fiction novels.  Did his comic book publishers also publish Sci-Fi comic book series with his stories?

Thanks very much, Mopee!  It seems that the only comedy book Crossen published was "Comic Land".  No "sleepers" on the list.  We should make one thread to house the creators' credits list (like this one) for all the Golden Age publishers.
