ThothAmon Posted March 5, 2020 Share Posted March 5, 2020 Anyone know why Bell Archie’s followed a different numbering system. Here is Archie 35 cover art numbered Archie 34. Interior is not Archie 35. archiecomicscollector 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know that they bought the rights to a lot of the Canadian comic book characters but that's about all I know... I think they bought it from the Bell family IIRC? It is detailed in the book below (which the founders of the studio wrote around that time). Its a very interesting read: Edited March 5, 2020 by Bronty Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CGC do this with UK comics too - they put 'UK Edition' on titles for which no US version exists. pemart1966 and AJD 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PatrickinVancouver Posted April 13, 2020 Share Posted April 13, 2020 Another Canadian Heroes issue Vol 5 No. 2, I got ten of these from a nice fellow who discovered them a small town south of Prince George B.C., usually kind of a boring title except for the Canada Jack stories.

PatrickinVancouver Posted April 22, 2020 Share Posted April 22, 2020 I'll re-post this because I forgot to give photo credit, The photographer was Jack Lindsay (1915-1994) , he and his family were nice enough to donate his photographs to the Vancouver Archives. They are public domain, so if there is any purpose to reuse the photo please honor Jack by crediting the photo! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
