Interesting that this British (Scottish) production ("Super-Duper Comics") has both a UK price, and either a Canadian, or Australian price. It's doubly interesting that IF the 10¢ price is for Canada, this publication would have gotten confused with F.E. Howard's Canadian series of the same name (albeit without the dash between ("Super Duper Comics") which was also being issued in 1946 and 1947. Many Canadian series were produced and printed in Canada, and shipped to UK distributors with UK prices in pence on their front covers. But this book has the UK publisher, Cartoon Art's Cap Toon Feature cents price logo (also used by their Zippy Comics series, so this DOES appear to be a UK-produced series. And the artist, Dennis M. Reader drew for both Zippy and Super-Duper. Yet I wonder if it was a total coincidence that both publishers who sold their books in both Canada and The UK would have a series with almost exactly the same title. Maybe that is the reason Howard's Canadian series stopped after #3? But Howard stopped all his comics in-house new production in 1947, anyway, as small Canadian markets couldn't compete with the mass of US full-colour comic books, that had once again been allowed to be imported into Canada in 1946.
