sarvaj Posted April 3, 2016 Share Posted April 3, 2016 Check the indicia on these late Anglos. A good number of these were printed in Cleveland, Ohio and then distributed in the States. The cover color of the Ohio copies is a little sapped when compared to the Canadian copies printed in Toronto. You'll probably need a magnifying glass because the indicia on these copies is miniscule. This looks like it could be an Ohio copy, Hap. Still nice to have. Now here is a question. If this Anglo-American was printed in the US, is it still a Canadian comic? Clearly American books that were reprinted in Canada aren't considered to be American comics any more. My own opinion is that the Ohio Anglos can't be considered to be Canadian comics but are American editions or as CGC might label them "American Variant." What do you guys think?

eccomic Posted April 15, 2016 Author Share Posted April 15, 2016 (edited) Group shot Canadian editions of Crime Suspenstories # 1-3 printed by Superior publications in Canada entitled Weird Suspenstories. The word "CRIME" was prohibited in use on comic books in Canada and this was the exception William Zimmerman, former publisher of Superior Comics allowed. There were no other issues of Crime Suspenstories, nor were there any issues of Shock Suspenstories published in Canada. To publish a comic displaying the word "Crime" could result in a 2 year prison sentence back in 1951 under the "Davie Fulton" act I acquired this set back in 2001 and had them certified when CGC first opened its doors. Old label goodness. The set came from George Suarez of New England Comics and originally from Lawrence Watt Evans, Horror writer. I have letters of provenance as such and cherish this set. Additionally, the three books were published in Grant Geissman's EC Compendium, TALES of TERROR, in the Crime Suspenstories section accordingly. (cover images) Extremely rare and coveted by EC completists.

ecgt Posted May 9, 2016 Share Posted May 9, 2016 (edited) CBC posted the documentary "Lost Heroes" for free online a couple of weeks ago. There's a short clip of Stephen and his collection in the documentary, as well as an interview with the creator of Crash Carson, Jack Tremblay, around the 23 minute mark. Only the first third of the documentary is about Whites (the rest looks at more recent comics). For your interest, here is the link: http://www.cbc.ca/player/play/2687392459 Cheers, brian Edited May 9, 2016 by ecgt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
