Robot Man Posted November 13, 2017 Share Posted November 13, 2017 There are tons of un-discovered Canadian comics that use US material with new covers. I have some that probably hardly anyone has ever seen. (No, not for sale). I know that there are tons more out there. I like this romance "annual" a lot. What are the contents?

Sqeggs Posted November 13, 2017 Share Posted November 13, 2017 I hope I'm not dragging this thread too far off topic, but she is swooning, so it is kind of romantic. Anyone familiar with these books? GCD says Canadian, and it was printed in Canada by Superior and has the maple leaf insignia on the cover, but the interiors are four color and the ads have U.S. addresses. Possible they were printed in Canada for the U.S. market? @eccomic and @porcupine48 any thoughts? sagii 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sqeggs Posted November 13, 2017 Share Posted November 13, 2017 Another issue. Somewhat different cover insignia, but same place of publication and also with a four color interior and U.S. addresses in the ads. sagii 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Superior reprinted many American books(Fox,EC's in particular) some with different adds,usually inferior printing quality,oddly,in some cases covers with a stiffer card stock. As far as I know,titles like above and Bruce Gentry,along with some other romance books like GI War Brides were printed in Canada for both US and Canadian markets with original content. Dr.Love or eccomics likely know more than I though. This is a Superior edition,without the insignia.. torontodesignguy 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sqeggs Posted November 13, 2017 Share Posted November 13, 2017 Thanks. So, if I'm understanding correctly, for these books there would be a single printing that would be distributed in both the U.S. and Canada? Would many Canadian readers have responded to ads with U.S. addresses? Or maybe the advertisers weren't too concerned about that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For the original content,I believe so,but i'd think the folks in this thread have far more knowledge than I.. Mind if I quote your post there?

Sqeggs Posted November 13, 2017 Share Posted November 13, 2017 (edited) Just looked at the CGC census and there are two copies of issue 2. One copy (a 4.5) is listed as a regular (presumably U.S) book and the other (a 7.5) is listed as a Canadian variant. Two different versions or (probably more likely) two copies of the same version with the graders having come to different conclusions about whether the book should be considered U.S. or Canadian? There don't appear to be any graded copies of issue 7. Edited November 13, 2017 by Sqeggs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OtherEric Posted November 15, 2017 Share Posted November 15, 2017 On the Aggie Mack books, I've got a copy of #1. It was definitely printed in Canada, with the publisher listed as being in Toronto and the editorial offices in Buffalo, New York. It also says that there is an application for second class matter pending at Buffalo. I think, with an original material (rather than reprint) book like this, the book was distributed in both the US and Canada. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sqeggs Posted November 15, 2017 Share Posted November 15, 2017 I guess these books fall into a sort of twilight zone in terms of how we categorize them. Published in Canada but distributed in both countries. GCD thinks that makes the books Canadian, but CGC seems uncertain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robot Man Posted November 15, 2017 Share Posted November 15, 2017 Odd how some of these are Four Star publishers and some are Superior. I love this title. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
