ecgt Posted September 9, 2016 Share Posted September 9, 2016 I totally missed that Rocket Comics! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bronty Posted September 9, 2016 Share Posted September 9, 2016 I was kind of shocked how well it did. The Brok is twice the book and for less money IMO but obviously a couple people really liked the rocket . I thought one effect of putting all those Nelvana cover triumphs in one auction like this is that a lot of people may have held on to their dollars until later in the auction making books early in the alphabet the comparative bargains - the better, a couple of the actives (a couple not so much), the adventures of Canada jack, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thehumantorch Posted September 9, 2016 Share Posted September 9, 2016 Unusual Comics? Not me, superb cover and worth it for that alone but more like a FECA book with reprint interiors, I prefer WECA Bells. Here are the few I picked up: Nice Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
comickid84 Posted September 9, 2016 Share Posted September 9, 2016 (edited) I, on a last minute whim after losing everything else I had bid on, went after the Super Comics 2 and won that. For 500 it seemed like an ok price, considering what current Pep comics of the same period seem to be fetching and the relative scarcity of CWs in general. Excited for my first Canadian White!

ecgt Posted September 9, 2016 Share Posted September 9, 2016 Looks like I missed that Super Comics during the auction too. For $501 that was a steal. Congrats! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eccomic Posted September 9, 2016 Author Share Posted September 9, 2016 (edited) Addendum: Rock Thunder may have been a crude prototype of the White Mask, (AKA Speed Savage) The book screams Canadian, right down to the Maple Leaf on Rock Thunder’s Chest. Rock Thunder's costume with boots and the two guns is very similar to the later costume donned by Speed Savage. The tome is uber-rare, with only one other known copy in existance in a private collection. Note Canadian Ace Hi Action under Title and Ted Allan Steele's initials under Rock Thunder....TAS now look at the Speed Savage One-Shot with the cover rendered by Ted Steele Canadian Ace of Action Edited September 9, 2016 by eccomic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bronty Posted September 9, 2016 Share Posted September 9, 2016 Who published it Stephen? Was it basically self published by Steele? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ecgt Posted September 9, 2016 Share Posted September 9, 2016 I think this is a reasonable hypothesis. Pulp or not, it's a slick cover by an important GA Canadian artist. Great piece! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
