eccomic Posted December 27, 2014 Author Share Posted December 27, 2014 Circa 1946 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bronty Posted December 27, 2014 Share Posted December 27, 2014 If Stephen will allow me to expand on that those came out right after the main runs of dime and active were finished. WECA was either over or about to be over and Bell was trying to manoeuvre his business in the new environment. New dime, new active etc are the beginnings of those efforts. Therefore likely 1946 as WECA ended then. Stephen or Jim or some of the others can correct me but I think those are the first bells that had distribution into the US Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bronty Posted December 28, 2014 Share Posted December 28, 2014 Any chance of posting the pics Stephen? I don't think the link works for me as I have my posts per page set to a non default amount so links that reference page numbers don't work for me and for anyone else with my settings Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eccomic Posted December 30, 2014 Author Share Posted December 30, 2014 HISTORY: WEIRD SUSPENSTORIES ARE IN FACT A HYBRID OF CRIME SUSPENSTORIES, PUBLISHED BY SUPERIOR COMICS, WITH THE EXPRESS PERMISSION OF THE ENTERTAINING COMICS GROUP (EC), IN TORONTO FROM OCTOBER 1951-DECEMBER 1951, EXACTLY ONE YEAR FOLLOWING THEIR AMERICAN COUNTERPARTS. ISSUES # 1-3 ARE CITED AS THE ONLY ISSUES KNOWN TO EXIST, AND FEW COPIES HAVE SURFACED IN THE PAST 50 YEARS. THE INTERIOR OF THESE BOOKS ARE IDENTICAL TO CRIME SUSPENSTORIES # 1-3, BUT HAVE CANADIAN HOUSE ADS, AND THE LETTER PAGES HAVE BEEN DROPPED. 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
