My foreign comic collection.

For those of you that don't know, my current collecting focus is foreign comics/reprints. Not characters that originated from their respective countries, such as Asterix from France or Captain Britain from the UK. No, I collect American comics reprinted in different languages/countries. I don't know why I find these so fascinating, but it's just really cool to be able to gather them all and just look at them. All those different countries, assembled in one group. Another advantage to having these is you can really learn a lot about the languages. So far I have examples from the UK, Mexico, France, French Canada and Italy. I am already quite fluent in the French language, and obviously in English as well (English being my first language, and I started learning French when I was about 6). It's gotten to the point where I can easily recognize a language when I read it. This is true for Russian, German, Dutch, Italian, Spanish and several other languages.

Anyways, enough talking. I will post pictures by country in my next post.
