Bronty Posted June 8, 2016 Share Posted June 8, 2016 Make that three of us. On a separate note I happened across a photo of one of my favorite non-superhero cover whites. Just love the colors on it and was fortunate enough to get a pretty decent copy. Enjoy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sarvaj Posted June 8, 2016 Share Posted June 8, 2016 Don't know if you guys know yet but the Library and Archives of Canada has digitized their collection of Bell Features comics and has had them up for a couple of months on line. Go to their Library Search page at: http://www.collectionscanada.gc.ca/lac-bac/results/lib?FormName=AMICUS+Simple+Search&PageNum=1&SortSpec=score+desc&Language=eng&QueryParser=lac_amicus&Sources=amicus&SearchIn_1=&SearchInText_1=dime+comics+no.+1&Operator_1=AND&SearchIn_2=&SearchInText_2=&Operator_2=AND&SearchIn_3=&SearchInText_3=&ParaUserView=UserView.Lac&Publication=&SourceLanguage=+++&Format=&MaterialDateOperator=after&MaterialDate=&ResultCount=10&MaterialSource= and put in a title such as "Dime Comics" and you get a link like this which list further links to each of the issues they have of that title: http://amicus.collectionscanada.gc.ca/aaweb-bin/aamain/itemdisp?sessionKey=999999999_142&l=0&d=2&v=0&lvl=1&itm=16526995 It's been a long time in coming but they've done a great job and now everybody gets to see these great issues in complete form.

Bronty Posted June 8, 2016 Share Posted June 8, 2016 what are the interiors on this one? American reprints? FBI isn't a Cdn institution! I normally think of 1941-1946 as whites and 1947 as FECA but I guess this must be one of the first FECA books? Cover obviously from Joke 23 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bronty Posted June 8, 2016 Share Posted June 8, 2016 ^ wouldn't that imply the label is wrong... the "canadian edition" notation shouldn't be there, no? This would be the only edition, would it not, and would have had distribution on both sides of the border as a FECA book, no? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bronty Posted June 8, 2016 Share Posted June 8, 2016 Here's LAC's Dime 26 cover: boy what lovely condition. I can't believe they wrote the LAC notation on the inside fc though. Ugh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, when I wrote that I had just compared to another of your whites, and it did NOT have the 'cdn edition' notation, but now looking at some of your others... they do. Not to mention the nearly complete lack of character and artist information on the label. Come on cgc If you don't know, just ask! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unfortunately, CGC STILL puts "Canadian Edition" on comics that were only published in Canada. My point though wrt to this particular book is that its highly unlikely it was distributed only in Canada. It is far enough post war to have been on both sides of the border, and the simple fact its called "FBI" (we don't HAVE an FBI) means it almost certainly had US distribution... Unless I'm missing something this is simply an FBI comics 2. Just a single edition for both US and Canada. Stephen, others, correct me if I'm wrong please?

Bell logo is the same as the FE Howard logo on Super Duper Comics # 3 I would suggest this copy was in fact distributed in the USA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
