The Story of Conundrum Comics Begins with Milton Foods

Milton Foods began with an invention that made ice cream production simple and cheap at a time when refrigeration was a luxury. Its inventor wasn't able to sell his machine, so he decided to go into business for himself. But it wasn’t until his son, and name sake of the company, Milton Langway took over that Milton Foods grew into the multi-national conglomerate that it is today.

Comic Strip to Comic Book

Milton Foods began printing comic strips on packaging in order to increase cookie sales before the turn of the century. In 1933, newspapers began reprinting Sunday comic strips in the form of comic books. Langway followed their lead and Conundrum Comics was born.
