     Item 1.   Security and Issuer.
          
                    This Schedule 13D relates to the common
     stock, par value $.01 per share ("Common Stock"), of
     Anacomp, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the "Company"). 
     The Company's principal executive offices are located at
     11550 North Meridian Street, P.O. Box 40888,
     Indianapolis, Indiana  46240.  
          
          Item 2.   Identity and Background.
          
                    (a)  This statement is filed by (i) Magten
     Asset Management Corp., a Delaware corporation ("Magten")
     with respect to the shares of Common Stock beneficially
     owned by investment advisory clients of Magten (the
     "Investment Advisory Shares"), and (ii) Talton R. Embry
     ("Embry"; together with Magten, the "Filing Persons"). 
     The sole executive officers and directors of Magten are
     (i) Embry, (ii) Duane Roberts, ("Roberts") and (iii)
     Robert Capozzi ("Capozzi").  Embry is the sole
     stockholder of Magten.
          
                    (b)  The business address of each of
     Magten, Embry, Roberts and Capozzi is c/o Magten Asset
     Management Corporation, 35 East 21st Street, New York,
     New York  10010.
          
                    (c)  Magten is a registered investment
     adviser and currently is engaged primarily in the
     business of investing in securities for the accounts of
     its investment advisory clients.  The present principal
     occupation or employment of each of Embry, Roberts and
     Capozzi is as a managing director of Magten.  Embry also
     is a director of the Company.
          
                    (d)  None of Magten, Embry, Roberts or
     Capozzi has, during the last five years, been convicted
     in any criminal proceeding (excluding traffic violations
     and similar misdemeanors).
          
                    (e)  On September 9, 1993, Magten Asset
     Management Corp. ("Magten") and Talton R. Embry, without
     admitting or denying the allegations in a complaint by
     the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "Commis
     sion"), consented to the entry of judgments enjoining
     them from violating (and, in the case of Mr. Embry,
     aiding and abetting violations of) anti-fraud and other
     provisions of the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934,
     the Investment Adviser's Act of 1940 and the Investment
     Company Act of 1940.  The Commission's complaint alleged
     principally that Mr. Embry failed to advise his clients
     of certain personal and proprietary trades relevant to
     the clients' holdings and to comply with certain
     reporting requirements.  As part of the
     settlement, Mr. Embry made a $1 million payment for the
     benefit of certain of Magten's clients.
          
          At the same time, Mr. Embry, without admitting or
     denying the allegations in an order filed by the
     Commission, settled a parallel SEC administrative action
     against Mr. Embry. In the settlement, Mr. Embry agreed to
     the appointment, for a period of five years, of an
     independent consultant approved by the SEC to oversee Mr.
     Embry's personal securities transactions and to conduct
     biannual compliance audits of Magten.  Gerald Rath, Esq.
     of 
     <PAGE>
     the firm of Bingham Dana & Gould, Boston, Massachusetts,
     has been appointed and approved as the independent
     consultant.
          
                    (f)  Magten is a Delaware corporation. 
     Embry, Roberts and Capozzi are each citizens of the
     United States.
          
          Item 3.   Source and Amount of Funds or Other
     Consideration.
          
                    On June 4, 1996, Magten acquired
     beneficial ownership of 2,853,111.20 shares of Common
     Stock and Embry acquired beneficial ownership of
     39,680.80 shares of Common Stock (collectively the
     "Shares") in exchange for a total of $70,350,000 princi-
     
     pal amount of the Company's 15% Senior Subordinated Notes
     due November 1, 2000, pursuant to the Company's Third
     Amended Plan of Reorganization, which became effective on
     May 20, 1996.  On behalf of certain investment advisory
     clients, Magten purchased an additional 35,000 shares on
     a when-issued basis on May 30, 1995.  The net investment
     cost for the Shares is $24,147,284.  The consideration
     was obtained from the working capital of the accounts
     managed by Magten.  The shares of Common Stock held by
     one investment advisory client are held in a margin
     account.  Such margin account is maintained at Bear
     Stearns & Co. and may from time to time have debit
     balances.   Because other securities are held in the
     margin account, it is not possible to determine the
     amounts, if any, of margin used with respect to the
     shares of Common Stock purchased or sold.  Currently, the
     interest rate charged on such margin account is 6.25%.
          
          
     
          
          Item 4.   Purpose of Transaction.
          
                    Although Embry is a director of the
     Company, he and Magten hold the Shares for investment and
     not with the purpose of changing or influencing the
     control of the Company.  Neither Magten nor Embry has any
     plan or proposal which relates to or would result in any
     of the actions enumerated in Item 4 of Schedule 13D,
     except that (i) the Filing Persons may dispose of some or
     all of the Shares, or may acquire additional shares of
     Common Stock for their own accounts or on behalf of
     Magten's investment advisory clients, from time to time,
     depending upon the price of the Common Stock, market
     conditions, evaluation of alternative investments, and
     other factors.
          
          Item 5.   Interest in Securities of the Issuer.
                         
          (a)  Magten has beneficial ownership of an aggregate
     2,888,111.20 shares of Common Stock of the Company,
     constituting approximately 28.9% of the 10,000,000 shares
     of Common Stock believed to be outstanding on June 4,
     1996.  All of these shares of Common Stock are
     beneficially owned by investment advisory clients of
     Magten (collectively, the "Investment Advisory Shares"). 
     Magten has shared voting power (with its investment
     advisory clients and Embry) with respect to the
     2,208,603.20 shares of Common Stock owned by these
     clients and shared dispositive power (with its investment
     advisory clients and Embry) with respect to the
     2,888,111.20 shares of Common Stock owned by these
     clients.  
     
     <PAGE>
     
                    Magten may be deemed to be the beneficial
     owner of the Investment Advisory Shares.  Pursuant to
     Rule 13d-4 promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act
     of 1934, Magten hereby declares that the filing of this
     Schedule 13D shall not be construed as an admission that
     it is the beneficial owner of these shares.
          
                    (b)  Embry, as sole stockholder and a
     Managing Director of Magten, may be deemed to
     beneficially own all the shares of Common Stock
     beneficially owned by Magten, as described in Item 5(a)
     above.
          
                         Embry, as trustee of four pension
     trusts for the benefit of current and former employees of
     Magten including himself (the "Pension Trusts"), also has
     sole voting and dispositive power with respect to
     38,652.80 shares of Common Stock owned by such trusts
     (collectively, the "Pension Trust Shares").
          
                         Embry, has sole voting and investment
     power with respect to 1,028 shares of Common Stock held
     by his minor children (collectively, the "Family
     Shares").
          
                         The shares described in Item 5(a) as
     beneficially owned by Magten with respect to which Embry
     may be deemed a beneficial owner, together with the
     additional shares described in this Item 5(b) with
     respect to which Embry may also be deemed a beneficial
     owner, aggregate 2,927,792 shares of Common Stock and
     constitute approximately 29.3% of the 10,000,000 shares
     of Common Stock of the Company believed to be outstanding
     on June 4, 1996.  
          
                         Pursuant to Rule 13d-4, Embry hereby
     declares that the filing of this Schedule 13D shall not
     be construed as an admission that he is the beneficial
     owner of the Investment Advisory Shares, the Pension
     Trust Shares (to the extent such shares exceed his and
     his wife's pro rata interest as beneficiaries of such
     trusts) or the Family Shares.
          
                    (c)  Information with respect to all
     transactions in Common Stock effected by the Filing
     Persons during the 60-day period day ended the date
     hereof is set forth in Schedule A to this Schedule 13D
     and is incorporated by reference herein.
          
                    (d)  The beneficial owners of the
     Investment Advisory Shares have the right to receive and
     the power to direct the receipt of dividends from, or the
     proceeds from the sale of such shares.  The following
     investment advisory clients of Magten have such an
     interest with respect to more than five percent of the
     shares of Common Stock:  General Motors Employees
     Domestic Group Pension Trust, Hughes Master Retirement
     Trust, and Los Angeles Fire and Police Pension Systems -
     Fund 2525.  The beneficiaries of the Pension Trusts and
     Embry's minor children have the right to receive
     dividends from or proceeds from the sale of the Pension
     Trust Shares and Family Shares, respectively.
          
                    (e)  Not applicable.

          Item 6.   Contracts, Arrangements, Understandings or 
                   Relationships with Respect to Securities of 
                   the Issuer
          
                    Magten is a registered investment adviser. 
     Magten has contractual relationships with its clients
     which authorize it to direct the acquisition and
     disposition of securities and to direct the vote of such
     securities through a custodian bank appointed by
     the client.  No contract, arrangement or understanding
     exists among Magten's clients or between Magten and any
