Export and Comic Books Part III
In addition to paperbacks Export Publishing Enterprises Ltd published over 40 comic titles. Here are a couple of recent buys. The Blazing West comic is in typical condition but The Kilroys is a rarity - an Export in close to mint condition. Both are reprints of American comics and undated but 1948-1951. How many issues of each title were published is unknown. The American Blazing West title lasted 20 issues and The Kilroys 54 issues.

I imagine Archie Publications Inc. would have been very interested in the red-headed, bow-tie wearing character. "P" in place of the Riverdale "R" doesn't provide too much distance.
ReplyDeleteI hadn't seen the comparison but you're right. Even "Betty" is seen as the present.
ReplyDeleteWonder if the Archie folks cared and went after The Kilroys like Superman vs. Captain Marvel a decade earlier?
