I've never seen this, but it appears to be a Canadian version. But I was unaware that they ever changed the titles.

Very cool! I don't think I've seen all three covers in color before, IIRC these were covered in an old CBM. It's my understanding that this was the only Canadian reprint with a title change - making it highly desirable for collectors of EC esoterica. I seem to remember one of the issues going for silly money on ebay a while back. I guess all the Canadian reprints are harder to come by than the originals - that might explain why I got full guide for a Canadian Weird Fantasy I sold on ebay a few years ago, which surprised me.

 

Were the Weird SuspenStories put out by Superior? Thanks for posting.

I believe that the title change resulted from Canada laying down restrictions on using "Crime" in the title of a comic- i.e. Crime Suspenstories = Weird Suspenstories... Very cool stuff!

Yes, the Canadians put a halt to the use of the word "Crime" on the comic covers.

 

These Canadian editions almost never come up for sale, it seems like.

 

I don't know if Superior was putting them out or not, but if not it looks like whoever was doing it was at least using the same printer as Superior! That cover color and quality look dead-on Superior! Those crazy Canucks!
