Rose Wyn

Rose Schiffman Wyn (March 1, 1902 - July 15, 1992) was an editor, publisher, and co-owner of the company that came to be known as Ace Periodicals, which published comics during the Golden Age. Schiffman was a Russian Jew who had immigrated to the U.S. in 1905 with her family. By 1922 Schiffman was working as a bookkeeper at her family's printing business. In 1926 she married A.A. Wyn, who would shortly thereafter begin working for Harold Hersey at Magazine Publications, Inc. By 1932 Wyn had taken over the publisher, which was renamed Ace Publications by 1938. Rose Wyn began working as an editor for her husband's company in 1932 or 1933. In 1940, Ace began publishing comic books, and both Wyns are listed as co-owners. Rose Wyn was also an editor for Ace Comics (1946-1951).
