Curiously, the Apache Kid (1950-56) https://comicspriceguide.com/titles/apache-kid/siyr is listed as an Atlas title in the CPG database but the indicia publishers are listed as Medalion Publishing Corp. and Canam Publishers Sales Corp. at www.comics.org https://www.comics.org/series/808/

There seems to be some quirky inconsistencies in the early days of Marvel/Timely/Atlas publications. ]]> Tue, 30 Sep 2025 17:04:17 GMT https://www.comicspriceguide.com/forum/messages.aspx?TopicID=20364 https://www.comics.org/issue/211206/image/ . Starting with #6 they added the Marvel logo. As noted on comics.org starting with #6:
Publisher's Brand: Marvel Comic [round logo]
Indicia / Colophon Publisher: Crime Bureau Stories Inc.
So both publishers are correct, but CPG goes by what the indicia says. happens a lot when companies are absorbed by bigger ones, sometimes they keep the old indicia publisher name in the comic, but it's owned by the bigger company. comics.org is a good place to check out info like this, when they have it.

The golden age title "Lawbreakers Always Lose!" (1948-1949, issues #1-10) has the wrong publisher attached to the series.

The database says that it was published by "Crime Bureau Stories", but that is incorrect.

"Lawbreakers Always Lose!" (1948-1949) was in fact published by Timely, and the old Marvel (Timely) logo is clearly visible on the covers from issues 6 through 10.
