Movie Publisher Services was a print publishing firm that specialized in non-fiction books about film and comic book entertainment. Typically, their output was not licensed by the entities who owned the properties, but instead relied on unauthorized reflections by the participants to the production of the entertainments. They have published on a wide variety of properties, including Star Trek, Batman, Michael J. Fox, and Calvin And Hobbes.
They were principally active in the 1980s and 1990s.
One of their unusual forays into the world of fiction publishing sparked controversy in that author Jean Airey claimed that they never had permission to publish a substantively altered version of her work, The Doctor and the Enterprise.[1]
