(Mathematical types are often spared in the wake of regime change, because the new rulers imagine that the math might prove useful.) <br /><br />I wonder why imported scripts were acceptable to the Canadians, yet imported drawings (reprinted) were not. (The public interest was not well served, but there may nine-the-less be an interesting explanation, in terms of group interests.)

More or less like in the early days of Hollywood, when different versions of the same movie were shot for different countries, instead of having the original movie dubbed.<br /><br />http://www.filmreference.com/encyclopedia/Criticism-Ideology/Dubbing-and-Subtitling-EARLY-SOUND-FILM-AND-MULTIPLE-LANGUAGE-VERSIONS.html<br /><br />We had some Mandrake story arcs completed by Italian artists in 1944-1945, and then some new ones created ex novo in Italy, but I'm not sure about how it went, speaking strictly from the legal point of view.J_D_La_Rue_67https://www.blogger.com/profile/13620923188907903146noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31723906.post-87576811991242800992016-07-22T10:50:37.703-07:002016-07-22T10:50:37.703-07:00Daniel, I guess it depends on who you think will w...Daniel, I guess it depends on who you think will win. In Libya it was not a good idea to stick with Gaddafi, in Turkey it was not a good idea to go with the people who launched a coup. Sixes. Throw up a coin and make your choice however it lands.<br /><br />I thought one of the more interesting things about the Canadian comics was re-drawing stories of Captain Marvel Jr. I have seen some done when comics were declared non-essential imports, and kept out of Canada. So the publisher with the rights to Fawcett had the stories drawn by local artists. That was one way of getting around the ban.Pappyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01977289662431694607noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31723906.post-3815108915377528482016-07-22T03:29:56.533-07:002016-07-22T03:29:56.533-07:00I dunno.

The Crusaders were awfully quick to side with the monarchy against what they thought to be a popular uprising. <br /><br />Anyway, yes, I think that we have to take this story as in the same vein as the post-war stuff from Fawcett. <br /><br />I'd be interested to learn more about the Canadian market for comic books in this era and earlier.
