Notes:
Sir Hugh Denison acquired a number of Australian newspapers, creating the Sydney-focused newspaper chain that became known as Associated Newspapers Ltd (ANL) in 1929. Rival newspaper operators, Fairfax and Packer (ACP) had financial and strategic interests in ANL, with John Fairfax & Sons Ltd ultimately acquiring the company in 1953. ANL's magazine subsidiary, Sungravure Ltd, was part sold in 1954 to Odhams Press Ltd (UK). The ANL name was used on comics throughout the 1950s. In 1987, ACP ultimately purchased Fairfax Magazines. ANL is most famous for its unsuccessful 1951 legal battle to prevent 'Ginger Meggs' creator Jimmy Bancks from taking his creation to Consolidated Press after a breach of contract dispute.

Sungravure Ltd.
Note: Sungravure Ltd. was formed in 1949 as a magazine and printing subsidiary to Associated Newspapers Ltd (ANL). In 1954, the UK's Odhams Press acquired a controlling interest in Sungravure from ANL, providing a needed injection of funds to upgrade the company's outdated printing facilities in Rosbery, Sydney. Sungravure' most famous publication is the Woman's Day, created in 1956. Sungravure was taken over by IPC Magazines in 1974. The company also printed numerous comics for other publishers.
