There's a big thread on Canadian newsstand issues in the copper age section - when I'm down to a handful to find I'll put up the list - at the moment the main list for these is Doug Sulipa's one but that has quite a few errors

Hi - I don't know how widespread it was but the only Double Double comic I ever owned (action 4)had a copy of the avengers bound in alongside the DC's ; There are also the 2 DC Comic collections from about 1989, these are just rebound DC's but with covers this time - although the back cover includes mention of some Comico titles. The hardback annuals like The Metal Men and The Atom are also rebound issues I believe I haven't personally assembled pence pictures - though I have a fair few, but your approach to this is very similar to what I'm currently pursuing on Canadian newsstand DC's (1715 pictures down - 398 to go - much easier though as it does look like all US Newsstand editions had Canadian versions)

I put up a thread on DC pence copies a while back - the list should be basically the same although I was only looking at the 1978-1981 issues, I missed the c-62 Treasury so thanks for that info. I don't see a mention of The Superman III movie adaptation - This exists in two distinct price variants - one which is US/Can. priced and one which is US/UK priced - this I contend is the final example (until the Bionicles promo's) of a UK price variant there being no other issue with just US/UK pricing that I am aware of a copy of the cover can be seen here: http://www.christopherreeve.co.uk/superman-iii-comic-book-adaptation/ It's not unusual to find Cents copies with T&P stamps on for issues that have Pence versions - I guess they had excess US editions to sell off, compiling my list I was sure for example that Claw the unconquered #10 should exist as a pence copy but I was only turning up clean cents or T&P stamped copies until I found a pence copy after about a year looking. from the 1978-1981 period the only pence edition I have not seen at least a picture of is Ghosts #66 - care to share the picture for that one?

Has anyone seen Canadian newsstand copies of Angel Love or Spiral Zone - they are the only two DC series I haven't seen a single issue from and I'd just like to know if they are out there to be found or not.

Actually after initially thinking it was way too expensive to take a punt on - I have now bought it since the Wonder Woman #90 is gaining value and I think I stopped buying that run in the 40's so I won't have any version of it. I will post info when it turns up if no-one else has a copy to check

I've just seen the Best of DC 1994 set on ebay - does anyone have this to check? it needs to be established if the Batman adventures #21 DCU on the back is genuine or is it a mock up and the issue included is really just the same bat-logo version found in the June 1994 20 pack ebay listiing

HI Ian - I was wondering if you got any info. on the History of the Warlord giveaway when you purchased it - was it printed and mostly destroyed or were there only a few test copies printed or something along those lines ?
