Very nice find. In case you're unaware, the Canadian DCs like this one are a bit thinner than their U.S. counterparts. If you check Grand Comics Database index for Batman #61 from the States you'll probably find that one of the backup features is missing from the Canadian edition.

Suck it up, buttercup!! KatKomics private msg quote post Address this user
weren't the Canadian editions also B&W...or am I thinking of the earlier reprints??
I think at some time there was also a ban on importing US books - hence the published in Canada.

Always keep my eyes open for these but never seen one!!

@dartelum where did you find this??

None that I've ever seen have been B&W.

These were called Canadian Whites, they had color covers and B&W interiors, something that came out of the wartime Exchange Conservation Act.

yeah, yeah...that was what I was thinking of, early to mid 40's though. This book is from the 50's so not a Canadian White....I think this book came about because of an import ban on US books so they just published them here instead

I've never come across this before what do you think a fair price for this comic would be?
