Export Publishing Enterprises Ltd.
- Export Publishing Enterprises Ltd.
Export Publishing Enterprises Ltd. was a Canadian publisher that operated from 1946 to 1951. It published two paperback imprints, News Stand Library and Torch, as well as comics and pulps. The shareholders and officers of the company were Stanley Schrag, President, Martin Kastner, Secretary and Frank Steele, Vice-president. Harry M. Steele was the Managing Editor.
Export was incorporated in November 1946. The first News Stand Library was published in mid 1948, the last (#157) in early 1951. The only issues of the Torch imprint (#1-#4) were published in November 1950. Export's printing plant was destroyed by fire on December 11, 1950 and the company did not survive.
Export also published a second series of the NSL imprint (with an "A" after the number) for distribution in the US. Most were reprints of books that Export published in the first series but the title and/or author were sometimes changed.Twenty of the 28 books of this series had dust covers. While not unique this was very uncommon for paperbacks.
Two comics that Export published were Science Comics (2 issues) and Captain Hobby Comics (1 issue) - all appear to be early 1951. These are the only comics that appear to be original to Export. Export also published more than 30 reprints of American comics.
Export also published other periodicals such as reprints of American pulps and magazines and an original one for children called "Junior Weekly".
Export published one book for export to England: "I Found Cleopatra" by Thomas P. Kelley, printed in 1946. The story was first published in the American Pulp "Weird Tales" in 1938-39 and reprinted in the Canadian pulp "Uncanny Tales" in 1941.
Two well known Canadian authors were published by Export - Hugh Garner's "Waste No Tears" and Raymond Souster's "Winter of Time".
