Information about Fleetway
Fleetway, also known as Fleetway Publications and Fleetway Editions, was a publishing company, mainly producing comic magazines for the UK.
Fleetway began life as Amalgamated Press, the company owned by Alfred Harmsworth, who were based in Fleetway House. Amalgamated Press entered the comic magazine market as early as 1890 with Comic Cuts and Illustrated Chips. It also published serialized novel papers (in for example The Thriller magazine) such that published stories by Edwy Searles Brooks, among others.
In 1959[1] the name of the company was changed from Amalgamated Press to Fleetway Publications. In 1963, Fleetway Publications was merged with George Newnes Publishers and Odhams Press to form IPC Media. The name of Fleetway was still used to identify the comics magazine publishing arm of IPC, although some comics were published in IPC's name. In 1987 all comics were collected into the Fleetway arm and sold to Robert Maxwell.
In 1991, this Fleetway division was bought by Egmont, who merged it with their own British based comic publishing division, London Editions, to create Fleetway Editions. At some point after 2002 the name of Fleetway Editions ceased to be used by Egmont on its publications.
