fifties Posted October 30, 2018 Share Posted October 30, 2018 Got these in today. Love the look of terror in the guy's face, and the lightning in the background.

Thanks, it's reassuring to hear you say that. Not a PCH, but possibly my favorite devil cover. Yeah Big Barrie- saw it Friday and was losing sleep about it over the weekend. Decided if it was still out there monday I'd grab it. 3 comicquant 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

davet75 Posted October 30, 2018 Share Posted October 30, 2018 Some of my favorite recent purchases (partial cross-post with the Fiction House thread): Sheena 1: iconic comic of first ever female hero/character to have her own eponymous comic book. Zolnerowich cover too. Junbo/Jungle/Sheena: The Sheena comic in the middle of the Jumbo and Jungle is interesting as it's Sheena #1 Canadian Edition (same cover and content as Sheena #5 US edition). The Jungle comics 98 was used in SOTI. Jumbo 95 is also a cool book: one of the few books with a nude (partial) Sheena panel for all the GGA lovers out there! SM 1 was tough to find a decent copy at a reasonable price. SM 3 is actually the Canadian edition and looks the same as a US edition (not noticeably inferior printing and material) Weird Tales: love this Brundage cover! Margaret Brundage is the Godmother of pulp painted GGA covers, some of the most iconic and salacious of the era, preceding comic GGA by a decade. Capt Aero 25: classic LB Cole sci-fi / aviation cover, beat but complete and cheap. Can this book even be had in decent shape for less than a king's ransom?

Hi Frank, my mistake. You are correct that all Superior comics were printed in Canada and then distributed. Technically all Superior comics are the Canadian version, since there is no other version. Interesting, I came to this erroneous understanding through a Canadian comic dealer who sold me some books including the Sheena #1 Canadian edition and the SM 3. He told me that the prices were lower than the US versions because the US versions are the most sought after and commanded top price while Canadian and UK versions usually sell at a discount. I didn't dig any further since I was getting those cool books at a good discount Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't dig any further since I was getting those cool books at a good discount I have a few different duplicates, including some EC's, the same issue from both the U.S. and Canadian publishers. There is a noticeable difference in the print quality of the interior pages, where the Canadian version has softer tones; i.e., not as bright and sharp as the American counterpart. AFA the covers, they are about the same, although some Canadian copies don't have the inside FC ad graphics of the American books. davet75 and Larryw7 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
