Here are two Canadian editions of Red Ryder. They are typical in reprints of the time in that they have blank interior covers. Neither comic has any ads other than the Dell one on the back cover.
The covers have the same picture as the US editions except for these changes: These have "Canadian Edition, and the month in the top right corner and other text has been removed from the picture.

Red cover is #82, Yellow cover is #78. Issues numbers are printed on the back covers with the publishing information: "Red Ryder Comics No. 78, February 1950. Published Monthly by The Wilson Publishing Company of Toronto, Limited by arrangement with K.K. Publications Inc., " Number 82 says June 1950.

Hopefully they get added. I seem to have to "send" the message before I know if they're attached...

These appear to be listed here

Title clearly says these are Dell reprints of the Hawley comics. I would encourage you not to get hung up on the "Canadian Edition" thing.
See discussions on UK edition comics here. Ultimately the value is usually slightly less than US value even through fewer were printed. Or there is no value difference.

So, even though they say published in Canada by a Canadian company they are the American comics? I think they are different enough they should be listed under the publisher, as other comics, which clearly inside the cover or first page says Canada. The links you sent are still under an American publisher. I'm not concerned about the value, just that they are listed where people can find them. I tend to look under the country listed inside the comics.

Even if the decision is made to list them with the regular Dell comics these would be variants, as both interior and cover are different and should have that noted.

You will have to ask the admins here. My opinion is - if there is no price difference, why take the time and effort on a new listing? As I said - don't ask me - ask an admin.

When CPG is trying to be the most accurate site that should mean pictures of all the different covers, both new monthly ones and the old ones? That's all I'm trying to do. Where they ultimately go is up to the site, but as they say Canadian Edition on the cover that is a legitimate way to distinguish them. As a Canadian collector I've decided to get the editions printed here so I'm just sharing what I find.

Doesn't my having it posted mean I'm asking Admin?
