I have over 70 Winnipeg Tribune Comic books dating from 1977-1980. I do NOT have the complete set during this time period. The earliest comic book I have is the 2nd - Volume 1, #2, dated: October 1st, 1977.
They are all in VERY GOOD to EXCELLENT condition. They have held up very well for being as old as they are.
These are very rare...I have seen some advertised before but only in small #s. Typically these range $5 - $8 an issue.
If you are interested and would like to make a reasonable offer please contact me.
If you are looking for specific "issues" or dates to add to your collection, please contact me.
Thanks for your interest.
Below is a little info about these comic books.

The Trib Comic Book Winnipeg Tribune comic strips
The Trib Comic Book - The Collectable Comics! was a free supplement to the Saturday edition of the Winnipeg Tribune. Printed in color, on newsprint, each 8.25-inch x 10.75-inch comic book contained Sunday comic strips, published one day in advance. 155 issues of The Trib Comic Book were published from September 24, 1977 (Volume 1, Number 1) thru September 6, 1980 (Volume 4, Number 36).
According to experts, the Winnipeg Tribune was the first newspaper to publish Sunday comic strips in a comic book format and more than 95% of the original print run was thrown out with the rest of the newspaper.
Most remaining copies are fragile and may have puzzle and games pages marked up.
The Winnipeg Tribune was a daily newspaper serving Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada for 90 years. The newspaper ceased publication unexpectedly in August of 1980.
