NotesProbably more rare than most American or Canadian GA reprints. This contains black and white reprints from Quality's "Buccaneers". Black Roger from #24 and Captain Daring from #23. This is either from Australia or New Zealand but contains no identifying information. In 300 ppi goodness from cover to cover.
There is more information about this book at the bottom of the page

I would be willing to bet that this is in fact the first New Zealand edition from Times Printing Works in Auckland. It bears the hallmark of no identification and the poor print quality on some pages. Just why the Australian 8d cover price is retained I am not clear. It should have been only 6d in NZ. It will be good to see an actual Aussie edition scanned here someday, clearly identified as such.

AusReprints has some information on this issue (see https:ausreprints.net/issue/58873). It identifies this as an Australian comic (although it could have been reproduced in New Zealand unaltered as Ernesto suggests). Many Australian comics have information on the printer as a kind of indicia, which doesn't appear in the scan here in CB+ (AusReprints says 'The indicia for this issue is not recorded. The identified publisher might be an associated or parent company, rather than the specific listed publisher.'). Ernesto suggests that a comic in New Zealand at the time would have been priced at 6d rather than 8d - AusReprints has an alternative version of the cover with a 6d price, and with the swinging pirate's trousers coloured blue. Makes me lean to it being the Australian edition, but I reckon there's plenty of room for doubt either way!

The Captain Daring story is a repring from Quality's Buccaneer #23. 'Black Roger' is a regular character in this book, but the two stories and the text piece seem to come form three different books.. Buccaneers 23 /?dlid=19921

Crandall pencils on the second story. Not his inks though.
