Looks like yours has a sticker price on it. They clearly kept their print over runs somewhere as they were always advertising back issues for sale. I have a copy I bought at a flea market as a kid; always like this issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
50YrsCollctngCmcs Posted July 11, 2021 Share Posted July 11, 2021 Even Classics are getting pricey these days. Here's a real pretty issue I picked up on Heritage a few years back at a bargain price for a 9.0. Jayman and jimjum12 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
50YrsCollctngCmcs Posted July 11, 2021 Share Posted July 11, 2021 Here's a reader I picked up a few weeks ago for five bucks. These are really fun bargains for some really interesting Golden Age work. Kromak 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jmg3637 Posted January 10, 2022 Share Posted January 10, 2022 I just recovered my scans from Photobucket The free version became impossible to work with many years ago, A few months ago they forced me into paying $5 a month if I even wanted access. It was relatively painless to download and delete batches and have pulled about 1000 images off already Downloaded all of my classics and related issues. Here are all of my Classic Comics GACollectibles and damonwad 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThatNerdyCanuck Posted January 22, 2022 Share Posted January 22, 2022 Was very lucky to come across these Canadian Classics Illustrated. The Westward Ho is beyond rare from what I can see. The two blank ones are theorized to be free giveaways to Canadian and British troops after WWII and the Rip Van Winkle was the 1st Canadian one printed! gadzukes, Sarg, Kromak and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AJD Posted February 5, 2022 Share Posted February 5, 2022 Cool thread. I've been collecting the Australian landscape format variants for a few years. They are hard to find and often trashed when I do find them, being big comics (there are two different sizes, but the larger ones are bigger than the US editions) and printed on newsprint, including the covers. But here are some of the ones I've found. There are 24 of these, #13 to #36. All of the rest were portrait format editions, but I haven't been actively looking for those. damonwad and ThothAmon 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Christmas Carol never had any reprints due to a copyright issue I believe. I didn't realize it had an Australian edition. Fun books and an interesting format.

In high school I did a comic adaption of Hamlet with the duck characters I called Ducklet or something. Didn't think to include the long soliloquy!

gadzukes Posted January 12, 2023 Author Share Posted January 12, 2023 Hunchback (1947) & Deerslayer (1947) These are both Gilberton Canadians (inside front & back covers are white, and the back covers are white) The Deerslayer is not shown in the GCD so it may be pretty rare.
