Unusual Comics

Unusual Comics, published by Bell Features from 1946 to 1952, was a six-issue anthology series that showcased a rotating roster of genre tales, from crime and horror to romance and adventure. The series is notably associated with the early work of future legends Jack Cole, Joe Maneely, and Matt Baker, whose dynamic art brought these compact stories to life. While short-lived, it stands as a snapshot of the post-war Canadian comic industry, capturing the transitional style and broad storytelling ambitions of the era.
