Kent Worcester Puts Out Call For Lev Gleason Information For History Of The American Literary Left

Over at The Comics Journal an interesting historical question pertaining to comics has scuttled to the surface, as if by accident. What do we know about publisher Leverett Gleason, especially beyond the surface elements of his publishing history and his eventual run-ins with Congressional committees seeking to smoke out communist influence and perhaps control comics publication? The question is asked by Kent Worcester, one of their veteran writers, who provides a rundown of the major things most of us already know about Gleason. It's woefully undercooked, that information, so anyone with some grounded first-person research -- a relative, perhaps -- that could step in and answer some questions would be doing all of comics history a favor. You can contact Kent through the TCJ article linked-to above or me
