American News Company (ANC) was a magazine, newspaper, book, and comic book distribution company founded in 1864[1] by Sinclair Tousey,[2][3] which dominated the distribution market in the last quarter of the 19th century and the first half of the 20th century. The company's abrupt 1957 demise caused a huge shakeup in the publishing industry, forcing many magazine, comic book, and paperback publishers out of business.
