Wouldn’t it be a bit too early for Atlas, though? Or was there an Atlas between the-eventually-known-as-Marvel Atlas and the 70s Atlas?

I’m thinking at least a little of this could be aimed at Archie, since what I’ve seen of Mighty Crusaders comics from the era came off as about the worst Marvel imitation I’ve ever seen, right down to faux-hip lingo and giving all the creators nicknames.

“Captain Marvel Presents The Terrible Five”, although dated August 1966, seems to fit the description.

“One such company has gone so far as to change its name and trademark so that the reader might think it truly IS a Marvel publication!”

Huh. Does anyone know what company this was?
