The Kilroys

Export Publishing's The Kilroys (1950–present) is a brief but historically curious two-issue series from the early 1950s, notable for its unusual longevity in name only—the title itself has persisted in publishing catalogs for decades despite the scant original run. The series is most associated with the creative team behind its initial issues, though their identities remain tied to the publisher's modest output. Its significance lies in its peculiar status as a phantom comic, a relic of mid-century newsstand distribution that outlived its actual publication.
