Sorry RH.
I'm not home to check the contents of DCM's #10 vs the GCD listing.

I wonder if this does help or add more to the confusion on this?
Weird huh?

Foreign edition? War Bonds Premium?
-
Hmmmmmm very interesting
-
My gut reaction is Canadian edition. But that's based on absolutely no information other than what is in this thread.
-
Did you win it?
Y'know, the simplest solution would be to just ask the seller to tell you what the indicia says - is it Canadian, etc.
-
That was what first hit me on this too Eric, that it might be a Canadian edition of this book. What Roy said could answer this too.

Didn't Canada have import restrictions during the war that would've prevented the Fighting Yank and his American Flag shirt south of the border? I was under the impression that the Shield got his Union Jack makeover because of that.

It had to have been sold in an English-speaking country that used dollars and cents in currency. The exchange rate would have to have been such that comics sold for a dime. This hypothetical foreign publisher might have printed two extra issues to push the issue number up by two; maybe material from another comic that the Yank appeared in. Or the publisher might have shuffled the covers.

That pretty much only leaves Canada as a possibility. Austarlia didn't adopt the dollar until 1966 and Bermuda did that in 1970 (I think). Hong Kong had dollars, but I believe they were under Japanese occupation at the time this might have been published. I'm not sure what it's value was relative to the US dollar either.

Our good friend Mr. Google turned this up:

Mystery solved. Thanks Roy!
