What is your rarest acquisition this year?

[Bo_Hogg]

This is the first of two rarest comics I picked up this year and they are both Canadian. I will let you decide which is rarest.

Cool cover

Here is my other northern border rarity!

 

 

[eccomic]

I have just acquired this rarity.

 

Picture Story Annual, Educational Projects Inc. Undated but most likely 1944-5. This may be one of the rarest of all the Canadian Whites, the comics published in Canada during the second world war. This one-shot annual, which collects three issues (without covers) of the long-running Canadian Heroes comic by Educational Projects.

 

This is also apparently a variant. Of the images I have seen of two of the three other copies, there is a cover price of 25 cents in the circle below "192 pages." On this copy the circle is blank. This is the only example of that variation, to my current knowledge. and the back cover is a subscription coupon for Canadian Heroes. The 25 cent version has a generic Canadian Heroes back cover. This copy is UNIQUE

Great thread. Not surprisingly, a few 'foreign' comics in here. I especially like the 192 and 194 page books.

 

Here are a couple of hard to find Australian books I picked up this year:

 

 

[PUNYHUMAN]

I don't know about rare for my purchases this year. But , at least scarce . Strange Adventures #21. Marvel Tales #95 classic monster cover, Wonderworld Comics#4 2nd Flame. Fight Comics #10 and other assorted early Mystery in Space comics. Can't pick just one

[sagii]

Mine would probably be this Australian variant. By this time, the U.S. series had converted to a Crime title. What cool irony golden age Hollywood gangster icon James Cagney would grace the cover of an issue of the Australian run

 

It opens like a calendar, and has black and white interiors

Very cool and unusual book. And it's not just Cagney; it's got J. Edgar and, apparently, includes "FBI cases." An indication, I guess, of the global reach of Hollywood, or American culture generally.

[Tri-Color Brian]

I guess mine would have to be this thing. I know, I know, the condition could be better, but it is what it is...

That's a great cover. Is the guy walking on the bottom of the ocean or through a post-nuclear war landscape?
