What about Harvey Comics?

Gold Key did space Family Robinson.
MrAtoz:
Here is a thorough, and fairly easy to follow explanation of Gold Key, Dell, Western Printing, and how they all fit together.
This is interesting. I have seen thousands of old Dells. I used to get Gold Keys as a small child.
My question: If Dell didn’t fold into Gold Key, what were Dells titles after Gold Key was created?

Probably very little that you’d remember. Quoting from wikipedia:
Dell Comics continued for another 11 years with licensed television and motion picture adaptations (including Mission: Impossible , Ben Casey , Burke’s Law , Doctor Kildare , Beach Blanket Bingo ) and a few generally poorly received original titles. Among the few long lasting series from this time include the teen-comic Thirteen Going on Eighteen (29 issues, written by John Stanley), Ghost Stories (37 issues, #1 only written by John Stanley), Combat (40 issues), Ponytail (20 issues), **Kona Monarch of Monster Isle **(20 issues), Toka the Jungle King (10 issues), and Naza Stone Age Warrio r (9 issues). Dell additionally attempted to do superhero titles, including Nukla , Superheroes (starring the Fab 4, as the group’s name was spelled on covers), Brain Boy , and a critically ridiculed trio of titles based on the Universal Pictures monsters Frankenstein , Dracula and Werewolf that recast the characters as superheroes.
Star Trek and Dark Shadows were pretty bad but Carl Barks was great. Some of the Red Circle and Charlton super heroes were pretty good. I especially liked The Fly and Blue Beetle.
