Comic Media
Description
Comic Media was a short-lived comic book company owned by Allen Hardy that operated in the 1950s. Its titles covered action-adventure, Western, and horror genres. The most notable character was Johnny Dynamite, created by Pete Morisi.
The main artist across its titles was Don Heck, who in 1955 was recruited by Stan Lee to Atlas Comics, which became Marvel Comics. Heck co-created Iron Man, Hawkeye, and Black Widow alongside Jack Kirby, Steve Ditko, and Dick Ayers.
When Comic Media closed, the company sold its titles and characters to Charlton Comics. Charlton continued Dynamite as Johnny Dynamite with work by Morisi. The character was later purchased by Max Allan Collins and Terry Beatty and reprinted in their Ms. Tree title.
