Thanks, guys. I paid next to nothing for them about 12 years ago, in the range of $4-$5 per book, so I'm really not out anything. I'm happy to keep them on the shelf and see what happens. Just like shadroch, I bought them for the covers. I'm never going to afford the US versions of these books, and these are a great substitute.

So, I love foreign editions of American comic books. I've had the pictured books in my collection for a long time. I recently joined CGC and these were part of my first submission. The other book I submitted was the Hopalong Cassidy and the Mad Barber SOTI book that came back 9.6, but that's a subject for another post. I'm looking for opinions from you good people on foreign editions, especially the older ones. A quick search shows a dearth of graded foreign editions in the census. What kind of market is our there for these editions? Will the world-wide popularity of superhero movies bring out more foreign collectors? Did I just waste time and money grading comics that nobody cares about? What do you all think? Thanks in advance! -Darin

Thanks, ADAMANTIUM! I’ll check it out! Keep it indestructible.

Hi, everyone! I'm Darin, brand new to the Board and to CGC. I've been collecting comics since the early 80's when I started buying off the spinner rack at the local drug store. I took a break in the 90's while I was in college and law school, then got back into the hobby after reading Green Arrow : Quiver and I haven't stopped yet. I don't collect anything in particular. I did go through a SOTI phase about 10 - 15 years ago, then purchased a few foreign editions of Daredevil and Spider-Man. Now I concentrate on original published art and signed issues of modern books by writers and artists that I admire. I enjoy seeing golden age horror collections the most. I find the censorship and burning of books in the 50's to be a fascinating study in human behavior. It's great to see the books that survived, especially the high grade copies that look like they just came off of the news stand. Happy collecting, everyone, and thanks for creating and maintaining these boards! Here's a cover to one of my favorite current horror/humor series, Hack/Slash by Tim Seeley. If you're not familiar with it and you're a fan of 70's and 80's teen slasher flicks, check it out. You won't be disappointed.

Hello, everyone! I'm brand new to CGC, just joined and considering which books to submit for grading. I have a handful of Mexican and Brazilian comics in nice shape that I'm considering for submission, including Aqui Esta Diabolico #1, O Demolidor #2,3,4, and 5, and O Homem Aranha #4 and 5. A quick check of the registry shows that very few of these books have been submitted. Is this due to rarity or lack of interest? Any feedback is greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.
