I know that they bought the rights to a lot of the Canadian comic book characters but that's about all I know... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThothAmon Posted March 5, 2020 Share Posted March 5, 2020 Anyone know why Bell Archie’s followed a different numbering system. Here is Archie 35 cover art numbered Archie 34. Interior is not Archie 35. archiecomicscollector 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is detailed in the book below (which the founders of the studio wrote around that time).

CGC do this with UK comics too - they put 'UK Edition' on titles for which no US version exists. AJD and pemart1966 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PatrickinVancouver Posted April 13, 2020 Share Posted April 13, 2020 Another Canadian Heroes issue Vol 5 No. 2, I got ten of these from a nice fellow who discovered them a small town south of Prince George B.C., usually kind of a boring title except for the Canada Jack stories.
