FineCollector Posted June 10, 2017 Share Posted June 10, 2017 20 hours ago, eccomic said: Just got the Wow 24 in from CLINK and it has an interesting stamp on back cover. A Dime # 1 that CLINK auctioned off last year had a similar stamp on the front cover. This would suggest that some of these Whites came from a collection in Quebec. Fun fact re: provenance... I thought it would be very rural, but some quick research shows that St-Jean was always an industrial manufacturing town. http://jeanpaulcoupal.blogspot.ca/2014/12/une-histoire-de-saint-jean-sur_15.html There's never been a real comic store there that I'm aware of. Might be worth checking out the antique shops... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ecgt Posted June 10, 2017 Share Posted June 10, 2017 A low grade Canadian "Is This Tomorrow?" just popped up on eBay, if anyone's on the hunt for one: http://www.ebay.ca/itm/Is-This-Tomorrow-1947-CANADIAN-EDITION-Catechetical-Guild-/142411008821?hash=item21285b8b35:g:3gAAAOSwbiFZPEWq porcupine48 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Consider this: the seller of the copy I linked to doesn't have any other comics for sale. Word on the street is that Canadian comics must be valuable! The seller probably saw the incomplete one that Mycomicshop has had online for months and based their price on it: http://www.ebay.ca/itm/Is-This-Tomorrow-1947-1CANADIAN-PR-0-5-/361992605447?hash=item544870cf07:g:S3sAAOSwlY1ZKoau Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
porcupine48 Posted June 10, 2017 Share Posted June 10, 2017 Yeah,when I took a looky loo at your link I saw that one and thought wot!? Canadian books are getting very pricey..even the post FECA reprints! I blame Stephen for showing off his awesome stuff and getting folks all excited! ..and bruno...seems he's hoarded a hoard!! ecgt 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ecgt Posted June 10, 2017 Share Posted June 10, 2017 FYI, if anyone is on the hunt for a French Canadian edition, Fides also released "À Quand Votre Tour?" as part of the Herauts Album no. 14. The Herauts albums are quite scarce from what I understand, but it's good to know that there is a second option if you're on the hunt. One popped up on eBay recently. I had long thought that the albums only reprinted issues of Herauts: http://www.ebay.ca/itm/IS-THIS-TOMORROW-A-Quand-Notre-Tour-HERAUTS-Fides-1947-Communisme-Au-Canada-/142306221858?hash=item21221c9f22:g:IN4AAOSwTuJYwJXS porcupine48 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On a U.S. auction site, it would have gone for much more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're likely right in this assessment. That said, I suspect that there are copies of the Herauts Album no. 14 floating around Quebec (or even New Brunswick) without people being aware of the content.

eccomic Posted June 17, 2017 Author Share Posted June 17, 2017 Another fun book from the collection with a Classic Fred Kelly GGA Sci-Fi Cover. This is the rarer Canadian Bell Features Edition and not the UK version. porcupine48 and ecgt 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
