Thank you for letting me share this special find and they will be housed in archival folders for posterity.....

Just an absolutely sensational find!  Given that this was the most important and influential of the Anti-Communist comics, I think it's safe to say that your find is easily the most important related to these comics.

Thanks so much for displaying its contents on the boards.  The find couldn't be in better hands than yours.

Is This Tomorrow Anti Communist comic Archive acquired from a priest in St. Paul Minnesota
PREVIEW letter that would have accompanied the Black and White advance copy of Is This Tomorrow/Confidential signed by the President and Founder of the Catechetical Guild, Rev. Louis A. Gales. It is DATED September 24, 1947 PRIOR to the publication date of the color version in November 1947, making it contemporaneous with the publication of the CONFIDENTIAL advance copy in black and white accordingly. 3000 copies of the black and white advance copies were circulated, yet only FIVE known copies survive...
Various broadsheets from the Daily Worker
Carbon Typescript of "Is This Tomorrow" uncensored

Just a few copies of Is This Tomorrow from USA with the cover  price variants and the Canadian Editions  as well.
Letters and other ephemera that laid down the foundation for this iconic Cold War era comic from my collection

IF ANYONE has the AUSTRALIAN EDITION I would  love to  acquire a copy.

Steven doesn't know anything about anti-Communist comics, Canadian whites, ECs, comic censorship, or the Comics Code.  Move along, nothing to see here. LoL!

But if you insist on pursuing this Quixotic quest, you might try sending him a personal message by clicking on the graphic under his name (a Triumph Comic 1 - worthless Canadian junk! (unless you are a fan of first nations women superheros)), and then clicking on the word "message."  

It has worked for me in the past.

@eccomic has a real eye and passion for this kind of book.  I've been fortunate to pick up a number of this sort of "giveaway" from him over the last couple of years.  It's a really interesting sub-set to me, particularly the idea of using what was broadly considered a medium "for kids" to educate or influence adults.

My avatar is actually Triumph Comics # 2 which speaks to how little you know about them
