ecgt Posted August 6, 2017 Share Posted August 6, 2017 Just getting back from vacation in New Brunswick, where Tania and I stumbled upon a small collection of 9 Canadian FECA books. Three of the books are not in the GCD (I will add these to the GCD later today, so please refrain from doing so before I get a chance) and we were very happy to pick up three high grade calibre issues of The Vault of Horror (filling my desire for Canadian books and her desire for PCH). These weren't cheap, but were well worth it. First up: Teen-Age Parade # 5 from Bell Features. The cover is a re-used splash page. It contains several Candy stories. This book is complete, but has a detached centre wrap and several pieces missing from pages. porcupine48 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ecgt Posted August 6, 2017 Share Posted August 6, 2017 A Date With Judy # 17 from Simcoe. Also not in the GCD: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ecgt Posted August 6, 2017 Share Posted August 6, 2017 The final book that has heretofore not been catalogued: Broadway Romances # 4 from Bell Features. The GCD only has issue # 1 of this series noted, so it is likely that Bell Features published at least issues 2 and 3 as well. porcupine48 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ecgt Posted August 6, 2017 Share Posted August 6, 2017 Two Gun Kid # 5 from Bell Features. Sadly, the centre wrap is missing porcupine48 and Get Marwood & I 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ecgt Posted August 6, 2017 Share Posted August 6, 2017 Western Adventure Thrillers # 22 from Bell Features. Guessing that the cover is a re-used splash page. This book includes all John Wayne stories. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ecgt Posted August 6, 2017 Share Posted August 6, 2017 Now for the real gems. The Vault of Horror # 15 from Superior. This one is high grade with white pages. Looks like it just came off the racks. Register is not too bad, but there is a definite mis-cut. porcupine48 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ecgt Posted August 6, 2017 Share Posted August 6, 2017 The Vault of Horror # 16. Some spine nicks on this one, but again white pages. porcupine48 and Get Marwood & I 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ecgt Posted August 6, 2017 Share Posted August 6, 2017 Best for last: The Vault of Horror # 19. Nicest looking FECA book I have ever held in my hands. Tania and I could barely hold in our excitement when we first saw this one. porcupine48 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Certainly not as impressive as the collection you picked up last summer, but definitely a treat. Made our vacation a bit more expensive than planned Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn't mess around with the staples. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mikeyc67 Posted August 9, 2017 Share Posted August 9, 2017 Hi Just picked this up and noticed Canadian. How are these treated in terms of value against US editions? I am from the UK so used to pence copies being discounted - is it the same for Canadian editions? Cheers Mikey Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers Mikey These DC's are missing a story so are most times cheaper.There's a few fellows here that actively collect the Canadian Bats,i'm sure they will pop in with more info. here's some great info...
