matewan - cool books.

 

What do F.D.C. and S.N.D. stand for, are they distribution companies?

 

If memory serves P.D.C. stands for Printed in the Dominion of Canada.

 

I have no idea what those initials stand for. I'm not sure if I ever found that out when I was doing my research on these seven or eight years ago.

I've always wondered how rare the Blazing Canadian edition is. The guy from whom I bought it said he believed it to be extremely rare, as he'd had it for years and years and had never found another copy. He said there might only a handful of copies, if that many.

Here's a copy of Amazing Mysteries #35 I just picked up this weekend. The cover is from AM #32 but the guts are AM #35 (crime stories). The inside front and back cover are blank and all of the mail-in coupons from the ads are blanked out.

No probs,

 

I've owned about half of the Canadian Anglo American and Bells.

As I recall there were 12 issues printed per volume for Captain Marvel (not so for all titles), so you have #47. Also, fighting back through the cobwebs, I would recall you add about 6 to the number to get the equivalent US edition. I've owned the Cdn version of #18 too! I should mention I buy all Cdn GA comics.

The canadian reprints of US books suck, I agree, but I thought this thread was about canadian 'whites' (mostly original and very rare B&W GA cdn comics). I live in canada and although I haven't actively collected for a couple years, in the 15+ years of active collecting, attendance at cons, etc. I can only recall being offered one canadian white. I wasn't actively seeking them out, but still.... I looked at thousands upon thousands upon thousands of books at dozens and dozens of cons... and one copy of one issue (!) turns up??
