I think there was a paper shortage in the UK throughout the war and this might have impacted on locally-produced pulps. <br /><br />Given the publishers' certainty their English readers would be unfamiliar with American stories that were nearly nine years old, I'm guessing 'Weird Tales' low sales figures in the States meant that importing and selling it in the UK was never a viable proposition.<br /><br />On that note, there was a news vendor who used to sell 'Vampirella', 'Creepy' and 'Uncle Eerie' on O'Connell street, albeit only a limited number: this was in the late Seventies, but the magazines were all 72 - 73. I only mention this because 'Cool Air' featured in one and was my introduction to the graphic art of the (then) king of classy black-and-white graphic art, Berni Wrightson.Aonghus Fallonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09434527113873901741noreply@blogger.com
