  3. Hi makis. Welcome aboard. I never seen this Detective Comics 118 cover before, it's a nice cover. By some uncanny reason, Batman always had a few "cards covers", unlike most famous characters. P.S: In case you have golden Greek books, feel free to post!
  4. I love how Goblin's was depicted on this cover. :). And congrats into getting n°3 Frisco
  5. Any good references that shows these differences between page quality ?
  6. I had the Brazilian publication of the middle one Flushman >>>>>>> The Flash
  7. Cross posting this from the Ducks thread in the Golden Age section. When the US Uncle Scrooge series started for real, from issue number 4 in 1953, unlike the Disney Four Color covers, the covers that Barks produced were unrelated to the inner Scrooge McDuck stories. However, on far away lands, some people thought it was worthy to produce covers related to the underline stories, many times originally drawn Let's take as example the US Uncle Scrooge n°25: As can be seen, the cover above is unrelated to the inner story, the classic "The Flying Dutchman" However, some covers were made abroad related to it. In 1963, on its second publication on Italy, this one was produced: On Brazil, on its second publication, on Brazilian Uncle Scrooge n°62, from 1970, this one was created: One year after that, an Australian publication introduced its own cover: Finally, the last 70's cover, on its third republication in Brazil, on issue 174 from BR Uncle Scrooge series, from 1978, a new cover was done: Entering the 80's, we start to see a difference in which kind of comics would use the new covers. So far, the covers mentioned here were for issues of traditional series. Netherlands would change that in 1981, introducing the its own cover for a special series dedicated to Barks stories: Four years latter, the US published its first related cover: ..made by Barks referring to its own painting: Now in 1987, Germany introduced a new cover. Not made from scratch, this time reusing some Barks art: Now we skip another three years, arriving in 1990, the year most publications with related covers were made. On Denmark, a new original cover was made for a bound volume of best Donald stories: ...which was also used on its equivalent Norwegian publication: To finish the 1990's publications, Finland reused the 1985 US cover: Finally, a year latter, already 32 years after the story was originally introduced, a fully original cover was made for its fifth publication in the US, this time in the regular US Uncle Scrooge series, breaking the 80's trend of using the covers on special volumes dedicated to Barks: There might be more covers introduced after 1991, but that's left as an exercise to the reader

  9. I really like this cover, even though Kazar is overly muscular for my taste I already tried to get the Ebal publication of it, but for some reason (price, condition), I didn`t buy it. Observation: You are alive !
  10. Actually, it was in Rio. This singular Superman was the most expensive US comic of the auction. Assuming it was bought right after the auction's end, during the Christmas Holiday, the buyer paid +- £29 for it. But I wouldn't say there is any strong pattern on the prices of US comics sold here. A non stamped one was sold by less than 3.50£ About shipping from the UK, I normally would assume that the international shipping cost would neutralize any posible savings. What is the bare minimum Royal mail would charge to ship a single comic to Brazil? I didnt remember that commercial. Many, many years since I last saw it Anyway, I was not aware about single use plastic bottles, but I assume it was before my time or perhaps during my younger years. What I do remember is widespread use of Glass bottles that were soon supressed by the recyclable plastic ones. Some say the coke taste better on them.
  11. This one was auctioned a few days after Christmas. First time I ever saw a pence stamped book being sold here: I was going to bid on it, but unfortunately the price soon went beyond my limited budget Interesting, I did not know that. It`s definitely the most expensive one, unfortunately.
  12. No movement in here for so long? I have ton of neat stuff to post, but I do not want to monopolize the thread. So I will post just one and use it as a motivation for others to start posting again Some time ago I posted photos and images of the brief encounter that Cap Marvel had with the Human Torch in the pages of the 1964 Almanaque do Globo Juvenil. The first time one could see characters of different publishers inside a same comic book. But not the last one newsstandnewstands, kids first had to buy the 1970 Invictus Vacation Almanac: Inside it, there was a coupon. Filling it and sending it back to Ebal's address, one would receive, free of charge, one of these in their home: Published in bigger than usual format, at least one level beyond standard golden age dimension, this high quality edition, with a plastic layer on the cover, thick, high quality paper inside, was a call to many characters from different places to reunite in Ebal's headquarter to celebrate its 25th anniversary. Characters from comics, from fairy tales and even Brazilian historical figures, were all called from the spacial super station by no one less than Wizard of Oz himself! For such an important meeting, they need to interrupt their usual activities. Here Jerry tells Tom to stop chasing him and that a matter of higher importance arises and they have to go: Here Batman and Flash Gordon receives the call. Robin tells Batman that they need to let their pursue of criminals for latter: After all heroes, classical fairy tale characters and historical figures are properly warned, they proceed to the meeting . The central page depicts they arriving in space rockets at Ebal's place: Inside the building, they were introduced to Ebal's staff, including its founder, Adolfo Aizen: Aizen tells how he, a journalist , traveled to the US in 1935. There, he went to the Daily Mirror, where he had the opportunity to interview Alex Raymond and Milton Caniff. Back to Brazil, he contacted João Alberto, head of the newspaper "A Nação" to ask for support to his plan. The day after, the newspaper introduces in its first page, the plan to introduce a daily comics suplement, "Suplemento Infantil": Suplemento achieves enormous success and not too long in the future, it became an independent publication and changes its name to Suplemento Infantil. After a few initial years, a new project started, move to the building depicted above and then Ebal was born. After that, characters are introduced to Ebal's printing process and get a chance to know their own comic: Thor mentions above something like: "This is magnificent, my father Odin needs to see that" Finally, all characters gathers to sing Happy Birthday to Ebal's 25th anniversary
