Notes:
In 1918, The Co-operator Ltd. changed its name to New Century Press Pty. Ltd. The company produced books (Australian fiction, history and children's), as well as popular magazines including THE AUSTRALIAN QUARTERLY (1929-1934), AUSSIE (1920-1931) and HUMOUR (1920-1960). During the 1950s, it published comics, often with the logo "Famous American Comics" or "World Famous American Comics". New Century Press also printed comics for other Australian comics publishers (into the 1970s) and is at times incorrectly reported as the publisher.

Humour {Comic Books}
Note: Humour was initially fortnightly (1922-1923) and then weekly from the start of 1924 until the end of its run.
The subtitle varies over the years, including "A home magazine for men and women" and "The finest selection of the world's wit".
This series includes cartoons and comics, along with humorous stories and jokes. While the contents are drawn from publications globally, the series include work by Australian comic artists such as George Roots, Ted Widocks and Carl Lyon. Lyon created 'Tootles', the magazine's first Australian-drawn comic in 1936.
