Congrats Ivan

CGC Kudos. They reholdered my rare Canadian White Better Comics, because the bottom of the front cover was turned up and they corrected it. See before and after pic.

Is This Tomorrow Anti Communist comic Archive acquired from a priest in St. Paul Minnesota PREVIEW letter that would have accompanied the Black and White advance copy of Is This Tomorrow/Confidential signed by the President and Founder of the Catechetical Guild, Rev. Louis A. Gales. It is DATED September 24, 1947 PRIOR to the publication date of the color version in November 1947, making it contemporaneous with the publication of the CONFIDENTIAL advance copy in black and white accordingly. 3000 copies of the black and white advance copies were circulated, yet only FIVE known copies survive... Various broadsheets from the Daily Worker Carbon Typescript of "Is This Tomorrow" uncensored Just a few copies of Is This Tomorrow from USA with the cover price variants and the Canadian Editions as well. Letters and other ephemera that laid down the foundation for this iconic Cold War era comic from my collection IF ANYONE has the AUSTRALIAN EDITION I would love to acquire a copy.

I would surmise the book IS complete 76 interior pages and cover makes 80 TOTAL pages, or 40 LEAVES.. The seller has a funny way of counting pages. LOL

Nice!

My apologies. I will certainly not bring attention to these type of BINS going forward.

Love the Clock supplement....Never seen one and it is the first appearance of the Clock reprinted from Funny Picture Stories 1#1 (1936) as I checked on the Digital Comic Museum site accordingly.......

Just acquired this rarity.. Excellent article here, which reproduces the interior. Link to Article: http://ep.tc/problems/74/ This completes my trifecta for African American comics, to include the rare NAACP giveaways

CGC census reports and samples of the three certified copies published by Rucker Publishing and one copy certified by Super Publishing . Yet irrespective of the Publishing data on the CGC label, ALL three certified copies exhibit the SIX PENCE price below the ten cent cover price.

New Discovery of a very rare Canadian Golden Age comic Lucky Coyne Comics Volume 1 # 1 was published by the Globe and Mail Printing Company in Toronto, for distribution in Great Britain at Manchester, England. The cover sports a Six Pence price under the ten cent price. All copies of this book to come to light have the six pence cover price and the indicia indicating Super Publications Ltd and are readily available on Ebay and not entirely uncommon. There are two versions of this with one in which the indicia say it’s a Rucker Publication and the other where the indicia say it’s a Super Publication. The Super Publications version has an added 6 pence price tag on the front cover beneath the ten cent logo, whereas the Rucker version had Vol 1 # 1 in the little yellow box beneath the 10 cents log. This indicates that the Super version was intended primarily for export to the U.K. and the Rucker version was intended for Canadian distribution. However, a copy has recently come to light that has Vol 1 # 1 under the ten cent cover price, in lieu of the six pence price, and stipulates in the indicia that it was published by Rucker in Toronto with NO UK address and intended for distribution nationally only in Canada. The interior is COMPLETELY back and white and is the interior of Chesler’s Dynamic Comics # 11, versus the Pence Copy that was distributed in the UK which is a blend of colour Chesler reprints of Dynamic Comics and black and white “News of the Day” articles on the interior. This is the first copy of the Canadian distributed copy of Luck Coyne to come to light, and could possibly be the ONLY KNOWN COPY EXTANT!. The book surfaced in Montreal, Quebec and was owned by a Pauline Cohen who wrote her name not only on the front cover, but she also wrote her Montreal address on the coupon on the back cover. I've never seen another Canadian distributed copy with the volume one number one on the cover, that was not replaced by sixpence and was not distributed in the UK, unlike the more common version which has the distribution address of the UK in the indicia The question is: What happened to all the other Canadian distributed copies of this book? I've been collecting Canadian golden age comics for over 20 years and I've seen at least 100 copies of Lucky Coyne comics, and every single one of them has the six pence cover price with the colour and black and white interior, and the UK distribution address on the indicia. It is also interesting to note, per the CGC Census, that THREE copies are listed by Rucker Publishing and ONE copy listed by Super Publishing. I have attached pictures of THREE GRADED copies and ALL of them sport the SIX PENCE price in the box beneath the ten cents, yet two of them state Rucker Publishing and one by Super Publishing, conclusively showing that all three were distributed in the UK and not nationally in Canada accordingly. I will now present my findings
