International Gold Key Comics
International Gold Key Comics was a publishing company that existed from 1962 to 1984. It was a subsidiary of Western Publishing and was responsible for publishing a wide variety of comic books, including licensed properties such as Tarzan, The Lone Ranger, and Dennis the Menace, as well as original series such as Space Family Robinson, Turok, Son of Stone, and Magnus, Robot Fighter.
Gold Key Comics was founded in 1962 by Western Publishing as a way to expand its reach into the international market. The company’s first titles were translations of popular American comics, such as The Lone Ranger and Tarzan. However, Gold Key soon began to publish original series, such as Space Family Robinson, which was based on the popular television show of the same name.
Gold Key Comics quickly became one of the most successful comic book publishers in the world. Its titles were known for their high quality artwork and storytelling, and they were often praised for their educational value. Gold Key Comics also played an important role in the development of the superhero genre, with titles such as Magnus, Robot Fighter and Turok, Son of Stone.
In the 1980s, Gold Key Comics began to decline in popularity. This was due in part to the rising popularity of other comic book publishers, such as Marvel Comics and DC Comics. Gold Key Comics also faced competition from other forms of entertainment, such as television and video games.
In 1984, Gold Key Comics was sold to Pacific Comics. Pacific Comics continued to publish some of Gold Key’s titles, but the company eventually went out of business in 1991.
Today, Gold Key Comics is remembered as one of the most important comic book publishers of the 1960s and 1970s. Its titles are still enjoyed by fans around the world, and they continue to be an important part of comic book history.
