Very impressive as they are scarce in ALL grades! Wish I could find more.

I have over 400 of them. I am very fortunate indeed as they are as scarce as hen's teeth.

I don't know anything about Canadian Whites, but it sounds like a really nice collection. Nice display cabinet too by the way.

Beautiful display sir. Please educate such heathens as myself as to what Canadian Whites are. I am assuming they were all published in Canada of course.

I demand large individual scans of those books. Please give us the opportunity to see up close those not-so-often seen beauties.

Actually the Superman # 1 equivalent in Canada is DIME Comics # 1, which is the first appearance of Johnny Canuck

[Moondog]

Stunning!

 

Why are they called Whites?

[szelim]

Stunning!

 

Why are they called Whites?

I remember reading somewhere that these books were printed in black and white, so presumably "Whites" is shorthand for b&w.

That is Correct. The books were printed in black and white

There's a fascinating article about the Canadian Whites in the current issue of Alter Ego (#71).

 

Canada, during the war years, temporarily banned American comics from being sold in their country. A handful of Canadian companies like Bell, Anglo-Canadian, Maple Leaf and Superior began publishing books of their own. Besides the Canadian "Wow" Comics #1, which was published in full color, all of the titles had black and white interiors.

 

Johnny Canuck was similar to America's Doc Strange (from Thrilling Comics) and Superman, and his face was based on the strips artist, Leo Bachle. Nelvana was the daughter of the Northern Lights and is actually based an old Eskimo legend.

 

Would love to see a nice image of Wow Comics #1, eccomic!

[eccomic]

You got it!

 

Lets keep this thread alive. Any more requests from my vast collection of Canadian Whites?
