The Menomonee Falls Gazette

    (Street Enterprises, 1971-1978)

The Menomonee Falls Gazette (subtitled "The international newspaper for comic art fans") was a weekly tabloid published in the 1970s by Street Enterprises that reprinted newspaper comic strips from the United States and the U.K. Comic strips reprinted in this publication normally fell into the adventure and soap opera category. Humor strips were collected in a sister publication, The Menomonee Falls Guardian. Typically, a full week's worth of a particular strip was collected on a single page of The Gazette. Although The Gazette was available via newsstand distribution, the bulk of their sales came from subscriptions.

Street Enterprises was the partnership of publisher Jerry Sinkovec and editor Mike Tiefenbacher, who ran the operation out of a storage trailer in Menomonee Falls, Wisconsin. Being fans of adventure comic strips, which by the early 1970s had mostly disappeared from American newspapers, they started The Menomonee Falls Gazette to keep the genre alive.

The first issue of The Menomonee Falls Gazette was published December 13, 1971. The Gazette published two issues of a free supplement called The Gazette-Advertiser (one in 1973, and one in 1975) to attract more subscribers. The final issue was published on March 3, 1978. There were a total of 232 issues, but the final issue was mislabeled on the outside cover as #234.

In November 1973, Street Enterprises took over publishing the long-running comics fanzine The Comic Reader. With the cancellation of The Menomonee Falls Gazette, Street Enterprises moved many of the strips featured in The Gazette over to The Comic Reader.
