(Information from "The American Comic Book: The Evolutionary Era, 1884-1939" by Denis Gifford.)
Dell was founded in 1921 and first published comics with 1929's "The Funnies", which looked like a newspaper insert but was distributed on newsstands. Eastern Color Printing Company was involved with several of Dell's earliest comic book ventures, although the exact nature of each partnership is not always clear. The company's comic book division folded in 1973, although Dell continued to publish the occasional book with comics content, including newspaper strip collections. Dell became part of Bantam Doubleday Dell ( http://www.comics.org/publisher/5554/ ) in 1988, ceasing to exist as an independent company.
