History

Curtis Circulation Company began as the circulation department of the Philadelphia-based Curtis Publishing Company, publisher of The Saturday Evening Post, Ladies' Home Journal, and Holiday; Curtis Circulation became a subsidiary in 1946.[2]

Besides the publishing company's own magazines, other titles distributed by Curtis Circulation included The Atlantic and Esquire.[3] One of Curtis' most notable clients in the 1950s was Classics Illustrated, which Curtis distributed, starting first in Canada in 1948, and then nationally in the U.S. beginning in 1951.[3]

In 1969, Perfect Film & Chemical Corporation purchased Curtis Circulation from the Curtis Publishing Company.[4] Beginning in 1969 (and lasting until 1995), Curtis became the distributor of Marvel Comics[5] (Perfect Film had bought out publisher Martin Goodman—owner of Magazine Management Company, the parent of Marvel Comics in 1968).[6]

Joseph M. Walsh (1944–2016) became president of Curtis Circulation in 1970 (he also held high-ranking titles at its parent company, Cadence).

In 1973, Perfect Film renamed itself Cadence Industries.[6] In 1978, CC was the U.S.'s largest magazine distributor.[7]

In 1982, Joseph M. Walsh became Chairman and CEO of Curtis, acquiring an ownership stake.[8]

Cadence Industries was liquidated in 1986, selling Curtis Circulation to Hachette Distribution Services (a division of the Lagardère Group); Walsh retained his ownership stake.[9][2][10]

Comag Marketing Group (CMG) acquired Curtis Circulation Company, effective October 1, 2019 [11]
