Thanks for all of these suggestions and resources everyone! I'll definitely be focusing more on English-language stuff for the time being, but it's great to know that this type of stuff was being published in non-English speaking countries too.

Picked this up in PEI during Canada Day weekend. Really happy to add a Canadian version of an already tough US book (Flaming Western Romances # 3) to my collection. I already have # 3 from this set. I might try to locate the other two in the series down the road.

Hi everyone, I picked up a small batch of Print Mint comics yesterday and am loving them. I have spent part of the morning trying to find a good online resource listing everything published during the Underground Comix era. I'd like to learn more, but don't know where to start. I also understand that there was quite a bit of stuff published in the UK and a small batch of comix were published here in Canada. Can anyone point me in the right direction?

Here's a pic of the back cover and some interior shots from the Pin Up Cartoons, as requested:

link?

Thanks, Dave. I'll try to get a back cover and some interior pages up in the next day or so, but I have a lot of rearranging and unpacking ahead of me tonight. Darn priorities...

No date, but the back cover has the "Your old Friends still the same Price! 10 cent" ad on the back cover with Super Duck and Marmaduke Mouse. So, despite being black and white It's got to be late 40s.

I just got back from doing a large open air flea market in Sussex, NB. I met up with Tony White on my lot from Chapterhouse comics, who was also set up at the market with his family and we had a good chat about WECA books and he spoke highly about many of you here. He's a class act and it's great to see the love for Canadian comics here in Atlantic Canada. My lot-mate broke his hand after falling when we set up our canopies on Thursday, which made for a bum weekend, but I stumbled across a box of $1 magazines that had this in it. It's a Bell Features book that it exclusive male-oriented joke cartoons in single panels (like adult-oriented mags from later decades). What do you guys think about this one?

We fielded a call about some loose Megos earlier this week and ended up getting these from the same seller. House calls are the best. All of the dolls are factory sealed and case fresh.

My thoughts exactly.

Indeed.

Perhaps this is symptomatic of a larger problem with how a vocal minority of people try to speculate on comics without ever reading them? I really don't feel bad for the people who fell for it (as they obviously got caught up in momentary hype), but the Linguini's of the world are culpable here. He should admit the mistake on his website rather than making the post disappear. He'd have more credibility that way.

And....not long after my post about Comic Book Scalping, all reference to Captain America # 310 was removed from the link... For those of you who didn't see the post before it was removed, the site was pumping Captain America # 310 as the 1st appearance of Diamondback, unaware of the conflation of two different characters.

And Comic Book Scalping is promoting Captain America # 310 as the 1st appearance of the Luke Cage Diamondback. Misinformation abounds: https://comicbookscalping.com/2016/07/18/hollyweird-before-sdcc/

Not a bad weekend for my wife and I. All five books are going into our respective collections.

I was thinking the same thing: the Luke Cage villain first appears in Hero for Hire # 1. People are probably mixing up the two characters because of them sharing the same name.

Sweet find Cal!

After the immediate shock, my second thought after reading WD 156 was that the value of 138 would go into free-fall.

I bought a couple of sets, but with the Canada Post labour dispute I can't justify buying more.

Just got back from a couple of my LCS's. Still an abundance of II9, but I only saw 2 copies of II7.

Here's a weird one. This was published by the Montreal Monitor sometime after 1945 and juxtaposes the actions of a Canadian socialist with that of the policies of the UK Labour party in a negative light.

It's definitely a strange piece. I have been having trouble finding any info about it.

Here is an oddball piece. This was published by the Monitor in Montreal during the era that Hugh McCormick was the publisher. It is an anti-socialist comic that attacks "socialist England." It mentions Aneurin Bevan as the Minister of Health, so this was published after the Labour Party won power in 1945.

Bruno has been hoarding these books for so long that he is the only person who ever seems to have them for sale on eBay. Despite the outrageous prices of all of his WECA books and my disappointment at the price gouging taking place, I feel like it was an inevitability that someone would get sucked into the hype and overpay for one of Bruno's books eventually. I am curious as to whether or not he actually got paid for the comic or will end up relisting it.
