NOTE: The exact relationship between Green, Universal Phoenix and Norlen has not been fully established. However, it is clear that Green and Universal Phoenix are linked as they were consolidated into the same editorial address and house advertisements show a mix of titles from Green and Universal Phoenix. Norlen might be unrelated to Green/Universal Phoenix, but is placed here due to the similar nature as Green Publishing (i.e. publishing reprint material and using the 250 West Broadway address).
