Silver Surfer Posted August 31, 2006 Share Posted August 31, 2006 Just flipping through this copy and I was surprised to see that it is in color. I thought the inetrior pages were printed in black and white? Also, inside the cover at the bottom its says: Subscriptions: $1.20 for 12 issues. Wonder if anyone ever paid for a subscriptions because obviously this didn't go very far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bronty Posted September 1, 2006 Share Posted September 1, 2006 I'm not an expert - I'll let eccomic comment further but in general I believe the canadian versions of US books like the cap above are in color whereas the canadian "whites" (which conversely are original content books with no US counterparts) are usually B&W inside.

podboy66 Posted September 1, 2006 Share Posted September 1, 2006 SS, All of my Cdn. Timely's are in colour (cdn spelling eh!), although the image printing quality is generally poorer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
comicnut Posted September 1, 2006 Share Posted September 1, 2006 I've collected Cdn for many years and all books printed after 1945 have color pages. Even the Cdn White titles like Freelance and Grandslam moved to color once the war ended so they could compete with the now open market from the US.

gorillamydreamz-migration Posted March 6, 2007 Share Posted March 6, 2007 Several companies ended up reprinting US issues on cheaper newsprint. But I also assume the plates they were printing from were not in good shape by the time they reached Canada, having already been used to print thousands of first editions. thin priting plates do not hold ink well so that, along with inferior presses and inexperienced colour separtors had a lot to do with the quality. And sometimes remaindered comics would have a different cover slapped on them. that affected comics whose first story pages bagan on the inside front cover. The first pages simply wouldn't be there anymore! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The first pages simply wouldn't be there anymore! I have many Canadian Edition Golden Age comics with that problem. The other problem is alot of them seem to be miscut!!! I have few mid to high grade Canadian Editions with miscuts!! For an example, Sensation Comics #74 (Below). As collector I would be embarrased to sell this to any Golden Age Collector on these boards despite it is a CGC 7.5 grade. (Note: For Golden Age a CGC 7.5 is considered a High Grade Copy!) I didn't noticed how bad it was until it was in a slab!!! The picture does not even show how mad the miscut is!!! Why are most Golden Age Canadian Editions have that severe miscut?
