Comic Media was a short-lived comic book company owned by Allen Hardy that existed in the 1950s. Its titles were mainly action/adventure, western, and horror. Their only memorabile character was Johnny Dynamite, created by Pete Morisi. When Comic Media went under, they sold their titles and characters to Charlton Comics. Charlton then continued Dynamite as Johnny Dynamite, with work by Pete Morisi, who continued to work for the company for many years. Johnny Dynamite would later be purchased by Max Allan Collins and Terry Beatty and reprinted in their Ms. Tree title, and later a new miniseries they created.
