History
The dedicated partners struggled financially from the start, but nonetheless in 1973 took on two more ongoing publications. They began publishing The Menomonee Falls Guardian, which reprinted humor strips, and took over (from Paul Levitz) the comics news fanzine The Comic Reader, which had been founded in 1961.
To raise money, Street Enterprises produced artists' portfolios in 1975 and 1976, but by 1976, the duo were living in their parents' basements.[2]
Despite canceling The Guardian in 1976 and The Gazette in 1978, they were able to keep publishing The Comic Reader until 1984, when the company finally went defunct.
