That magazine was printed for world color press day. In Sparta. I worked there for 27 years. Still have that magazine and a few other mementos.
I've worked in million and million and a half square foot buildings. Feels like you're in the heart of the Deathstar.
I think Magazineland referred to the geographic area from Effingham to Sparta in 1977 where, at one time, 80+ % of the nations magazines were printed. Later, a plant was built in Mt Vernon, IL. I worked at Salem Gravure for 23 years, up until the closing of the plant in 2001. I was one of the last two guys to leave the deserted Salem building in late June, 2001. The Effingham plant, Crossroads Press, was still in production, owned by Quebecor. As I was told, World Color Press got it's name from it's beginnings printing materials for the 1904 St Louis World's Fair. (Note: I'm writing this from my own memory. I don't submit the comment as pure accuracy.)
What did you do there? And do you have any memorable stories?
Karmen was a pressman, I worked at Salem Gravure as a stacker. My mother was a Customer Service rep for years working on many major titles.
That building as 3:00 remind me of an old flea market I used to drive.by it was the size of a small town car dealership single story, but they had a sign out front saying “over 50,000 sq ft of vendors” unless that building had a crazy deep basement no way it had a 1 and 1/8th acre basement haha
This got me wondering if there are any of metal plates that survived and are out there in the wild. Quick google search doesn't give much results - there are some here and there but not much really. Pretty interesting that collectors didn't jump on those. I'd love to have some, they would be great display pieces.
That's wild how one printer made so many competing comics
The Heroes World catalogues ran for several years. I have about a dozen of them. The earliest ones really only had ads for the product (around 1975-76), but around ‘77 or so, the JKS started producing them. Joe Kubert did the covers and students did the interiors, and the company was owned by Ivan Snyder, so Joe featured the superhero Snyderman on the covers. These lasted into the early 80s, with about a quarterly publication schedule (seasonal).
Thanks... Amazing to see that! The pressing plants must have been gruesome to work in.
worked at salem, have a few of these
YES!! I was just going to request that you go into this stuff!
I'm really curious about the exact process of how four-color is accomplished. Anyone know of a video that goes through that?

Thanks!
Does anyone know how much this comic would be worth? I have one that belonged to my father who worked there for years in 2 different locations.
