Weird and confusion 2 2

[JollyComics]

Hello eveyone,

I just picked up my books at the post office.  Checked with GCD but it got me confused.

It's so weird that stories in Jesse James (Avon) #2 do not match GCD's information but it's matched to Jesse James #1 - all stories are matched but 1st story (The San Antonio Stage Robbery) is not included. 16 wraps are accounted for.

Weird again, Looked at the indicia - it said May 1951.  That date is belonged to Jesse James #3 according to GCD.

 

I am not sure if which one is error - the book or GCD?  Your knowledge would be helpful.

I’m not really clear on your question, but it’s possible GCD is incorrect. Are you asking for the story sequence for #2?

The indicia for #2 is December 1950.

Do you have Jesse James #2?

Where did you get this?  I think you have solved the puzzle.

MCS failed to mention this copy was printed in Canada. I noticed your indicia showed differently and the inside cover looked differently.  Apparently GCD doesn't have this information.

Cool!  We need some experts on early Canadian comics to chime in here.

“To chime” not “too chime”. Good gracious.

GCD only shows #’s 3 & 4 as having Canadian printings.

Yes, GCD is missing some info as well.

Hey amigo!

There was a weird time when Canada put a restriction on American luxury items,so publishers printed them here-Superior and Bell are the top two.Often a story would be skipped and no adds inside or different.They also censored a bit or changed the colour,sometimes even taking a say,Marvel title and putting the cover on,say,Jetman comics.I find Westerns the most common in my experience.For the missing pages,drives me nuts.I have a Batman with a Joker cover-and the Joker story is gone.

They are usually about half the American price.The EC's by Superior(same company as those war books I got from you Jolly) seem to have no changes.

Sometimes they just haven't been added.I have five or six,more maybe that aren't on GCD,like this one:  Dr.Love could tell you the original title if you wanna page him,it wont work for me 

About the Hi comics I mean.I found a bunch of other Canadian editions going thru my pics posted here loooking.

All are normal inside I believe besides the Superman.The Hi comics has really poor printing on the interior,it's often the case

It looks like that I may add the new information to both CB plus and GCD.  Should I?

Fantastic! My question is...how rarity Canadian comic books can be found here and up in Canada? I don't see them very often.

I’d definitely submit this to GCD.

Other tricky question.

This Canadian copy may be valuable.

They usually fetch half the price of US copies-unless you have something niche like the Batman books that folk are bidding each other up for,or if it's stories,characters represented in a solely Canadian title,like Hi or Jetman for instance.(jetman did old Marvel Boy and Blackhawk reprints)

While they are likely more common up here,many of my copies come from stateside.

@Artboy99 anything to add here I've left out-I just tried to cover the basics.

Canadian Whites are a whole different world,the Captain Marvels for instance.
