K. G. Murray Publishing Company
Note: The indicia source for this publisher has "the" in lower case letters, unlike the usual "The" in "The K. G. Murray Publishing Company Pty. Ltd." It is also missing the "Pty. Ltd."

Man Junior Magazine Pty. Ltd.
Note: Man Junior Magazine Pty. Ltd is the division of K.G. Murray responsible for the magazine of the same name. Two series of Man Junior were published 1937-1953 and 1954-1974. However, the indicia publisher name was probably not used for the entire period and only a few comics were published by the company. Man Junior routinely included a single Devil Doone story by Hart Amos. These were collected and republished by K. G. Murray under a number of indicia publisher names between 1948 and 1972.

Sport Magazine Pty. Ltd.
Note: Sport Magazine was one of numerous "Proprietors" that were part of the Kenneth G Murray publishing empire, most of which were named after specific publications. The eponymous 'Sport Magazine' ran June 1954 to December 1963, when its title changed to 'Australian Sport and Surfriding' until the magazine ended sometime after 1964. The publisher's output also included a range of other sporting and car publications until about 1973. Between 1967/68 and 1973/74, a range of comics was also published by Sport Magazine. Some of these titles carried the "Colour Comics" cover branding, but most were unbranded. Sport Magazine represented a distinct portfolio of Murray's comics focused on non-DC reprints, including rare Marvel reprints and material from Europe (especially Spain and the UK).
