I’m not really sure it could be a distributor stamp from the local store it arrived at for the newsstand Get Marwood & I 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was a great find, a real treasure chest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zzutak Posted December 11, 2022 Share Posted December 11, 2022 An awesome acquisition! My latest contribution is much more mundane: the Canadian edition of Vicky Comics #4 (Ace International / Trans-Canada News; Jun 1949). Still Golden Age, but years beyond the WECA era. The interesting aspect of this book is that it's actually a hybrid of two US issues: it features the cover of the US edition of Vicky #4 (Ace; Apr 1949) but the interior of the US edition of Vicky #3 (Ace; Feb 1949) -- minus the US ads, of course. I know that Canadian editions often had reduced page counts versus their original US counterparts (for example, the Canadian editions of DC issues from the 52-page era only contained 36 pages and were therefore technically "incomplete" reprints). But I don't think I've ever seen a Canadian edition that was a hybrid of two different US issues. Was this hybridizing unique to Ace, or was it something that other publishers did when creating their Canadian editions? ThatNerdyCanuck 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThatNerdyCanuck Posted December 17, 2022 Share Posted December 17, 2022 Picked up 2 fun Canadian Books this week. PEP Comics #74 (Which is really PEP Comics #76) - Pretty nice condition overall, and a tough cover to find even in the US Run. Canadian Heroes Vol. 3 #4 - She's seen better days no doubt, but to own one at all is such a treat! eccomic 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
