Initially under its Whitman line, Western from the 1940s to the 1980s published several series of books for older children and young teenagers. Beginning as the 'Whitman Famous Classics,' and later renamed the 'Golden Press' imprint, Western published a series of (public domain) classics, such as Little Women, Little Men, Black Beauty, and Heidi, among many others. The Little Golden Books was a very popular line. Western published a wide range of children books (puzzle books, coloring books, Big Little Books, etc), mostly under the Golden Books and Whitman Publishing line since the 1920/30. Dark Horse Comics has recently been doing some reprints of their original comic book properties, which are owned by Random House. Some of their comics were published under that name, especially March of Comics. They stopped publishing comics in 1984, and all their licenses have since gone to other publishers. This continued until the late 1970s, after which newsstand distribution was discontinued in favor of distribution to toy stores etc. In 1962, Western decided to end its partnership with Dell and publish comics themselves, and set up Gold Key Comics. From 1938 to 1962, Western's comics came out under the Dell Comics imprint, who also handled the distribution and financing of the line. Oscar LeBeck, Matt Murphy and Wally Green are among those who oversaw the east coast office. The editorial staff at the west coast office over the years included Eleanor Packer, Alice Cobb, Chase Craig, Zetta Devoe and Del Connell. Western held licenses for the characters from Walt Disney Productions, Metro Goldwyn Mayer, Edgar Rice Burroughs and Walter Lantz Studio, and produced comics based on these characters (and others) as well as original works. Western Publishing also produced children's books and family related entertainment products as Golden Books Family Entertainment.
