Golden Age Canadian Comics


Triumph-Adventure-Comics #5 Jan 1942, Better Comics v3 #7 Dec 1944/Jan 1945, Rocket Comics v2 #5 Nov/Dec 1943.

Canadian comic publishing flourished during the Second World War due to an embargo on foreign paper goods as part of the Wartime Measures Act. This virtually eliminated the American comics from the Canadian market until the end of the war. I have set up a website devoted to these important pieces of Canada’s pop culture history:

Golden Age Canadian Comics

You’re welcome to visit and download the comics. To reduce bandwidth demands, I request you save the images to disc and view them offline rather than viewing them multiple times online. This will also allow you to view the pages at a larger size.

You can go to these sites for histories on this era of comics :

Beyond the Funnies

Guardians of the North

And there’s a Yahoo group devoted to Canadian comics with a lot of good people there sharing their knowledge and collections. It’s free to join :
