This is a cool reference but I'm curious as to why it was posted here in the Copper forum. Also, there are no Timely superhero prints noted from Superior Publishers and Bell Features?

Thanks for the reference. I remember years ago a fellow named (I believe) Gideon Steinberg put out a comic book size and style list of Canadian comics. There was also the Canadian Comic Book Encyclopia which I believe was written by John Bell and published by Mark Shainblum.

 

Check that-- it wasn't Gideon Steinberg. He put out Canadian Comic Cavalcade. I don't know the name of the other guy but his guide was called, "Introduction to Canadian Comics" and it preceded Mark's encyclopedia, though I am sure that it didn't influence it.

Some of those later Aircel issues were published in the states.

Just bought that book and the list had tons of books that were missing. It mentions a volume #2 but I'm not sure it was ever printed?

I am all but certain that Mark never published a volume two. John Bell recently came out with a book, and I don't know who published it, and it may be called "Invaders from the North". It came out in the last year or so. I really don't know John and I certainly haven't asked him about it, but it may be what was once Encyclopedia Volume Two. I saw the book at "City Books" on the Danforth and in Steve Lipson's collection.

I actually I recently bought the "Invaders from the North" and it is a good read but I wish they had more pictures of different issues for references purposes. I think its clear that a lot of this stuff, even what issues were printed, is still a bit of a mystery which adds to the lure of collecting these books, at least for me. I defintely think someone like Stephen could be a huge asset if someone ever decided to do an updated version/book on this stuff. I think I have 16 Canadian Timley prints in my collection with about 8 more to track down. Some of this stuff is impossible to find and a few issues I picked up in the oddest places.
