A couple more Australian 'Classic Comics', which later became Classics Illustrated. And yet another different shape - these are longer and narrower than the previous couple. Though undated and unnumbered, these are #15 and #20 respectively. The monthly series started in 1947, so these would be 1948 and/or 1949. With these it's at least easy to select interior pages. The archery contest from Ivanhoe and the 'all for one and one for all' from (the VERY unevenly drawn) Three Musketeers.

A "models and hobbies" shop that sold second hand comics... man, I think my heart stopped for a second there.

Great stuff - a Canadian reprint of an American comic for distribution in the UK appearing under two different publisher's imprints is interesting enough to start with but this find adds another curiosity. I haven't yet dived into the Australian reprints of US books for the New Zealand market, but I suspect there will be similar oddities to be found there.

Yep - and you can see their first ever panel here:

Happy birthday to you guys! It's not our birthday, but I figure you won't mind if I run up our flag too...

Run away! to run away!

If I was a sadist I'd ask for 'The carnival is over' to be played at my funeral. With a room full of Australians of a certain age there wouldn't be a dry eye in the house. Except for mine, obviously.
