Most Australian comics of the 'Golden Age' period were B&W, with the only exception I know of being the first 16 issues of Captain Atom
If you are talking about the 'original' Aussie comics, that's correct.
However all the Disney comics reprints were in colour.
The rest of the Dell/Gold Key books were the imported originals.
One precious item that I lost was a
SILVER STARR comic which was in colour and on the same paper as the Disneys which was much better than the colored newsprint of the imported US comics. This didn't improve till the 90's. The Aussie Uncle Scrooge reprints and the the Silver Starr were on Magazine quality paper which were much better.
The DC material was treated badly, bundled together in lots of 100 pages and printed on newspaper. Probaly a month of DC in one book.
Marvel/Atlas books were very difficult to find on the newsstands. Some of them were probably banned in the 50s. In the mid-60's I even subscribed to Marvel in the US to get all the books i wanted. And was disgusted when they arrived folded in two length-wise.
Even bought a lot of old DC 's from
Bud Plant. Even then most of the real collectors items were out of stock and hard to get.
