publishing company
The magazine was first published by Wolfgang Alber, then from No. 31 by the Comic Verlagsgesellschaft in Vienna . The last five issues appeared in the Forum Verlagsgesellschaft in Furth an der Triesting . A total of 67 issues were produced.
Chief editor
The editors-in-chief of the magazine were Wolfgang Alber (up to No. 30), Erich L. Nussbaumer (up to No. 32), Alfred Schuh (up to No. 38) and Harald A. Havas (up to No. 67).
Last two editions
The last regular issue, No. 66 from December 1994, announced a merger with the trade journal COMIC! of the comic association . Therefore, for the first time, an ISSN (0945-926X) appeared on the cover. However, the merger failed.

In the albums category, the series The Towers of Bos-Maury and Travelers in the Wind often made it into the top ranks, in the books category Corto Maltese .
