The reason I asked about the price in the indicia is that the Marvel price variants have a different cover price than the price in the indicia.

Not sure if anyone is still following this thread, but your assumption they are Canadian is not correct.

In 1957-58 Dell released a number of their comics with a 15c cover price instead of the usual 10c cover price. These were test market prices and were sold in Arizona, California and Nevada.

They did the same with Dell Giants with a 30c cover price instead of a 25c cover price.

Here are some 15 cent test variants. I failed to pull the trigger on about 5 others and they were gone when I revisted the seller.

In regards to the 10 cent versus 15 cent prices, here are the scans from two different copies I have, of the front cover, indicia, and statement of ownership (if there is any useful data there). They are dated Feb-Mar 1958.

I collect Turok, Son of Stone and issues 7-12 issued over this time period come in both 12 cent and 15 cent versions .  So that's six 15 cent issues that were published not the 4 as indicated on the Dell blogspot.

The covers on my above mentioned Turoks are 15 cents only - printed directly on the cover.  I pulled out the #12 and there's no indication in the indica (I'm taking that to mean the information at the bottom of page 1) regarding prices for single issues.  The only price mentions are for subscriptions.
