Post a book nobody else on this forum owns....

[Silver Surfer]

LEGISLATION WAS PASSED IN CANADA WHICH MADE IT A CRIMINAL OFFENCE TO IMPORT CRIME COMICS INTO CANADA BETWEEN 1949-1953, HENCE THE WORD “WEIRD” REPLACED “CRIME” ON THE COVERS OF THESE COMICS. THIS LENDS AN ESOTERIC ELEMENT TO THIS GENRE AND ONLY 2-3 COPIES OF EACH BOOK ARE KNOWN TO EXIST.

Stephen I was aware of this fact [the replacement of the words "crime" and "weird"], very cool stuff.

This book is listed as scarce in the guide but it is rarer than a gerber 9. It was only given away in 1964 in Harlem only. I was so happy to find this copy with 3 pieces of tape and a missing piece at the bottom that I did not know what to do!!!!!!!

 

 

That's so cool. Isn't there a horror or DC comic (Phantom Stranger?) with a cover just like that -- that is, with little people or creatures on somebody's fingers?
