  1. That's an interesting observation. Yes, majority of them seem to be 1.75 which may be the original price they were selling these. But I remember early 80s they were still selling some of these same comics with a 1.95 and 2.95 in it and some were on sale with a 1.00 written there.  In some cases where there was already a previous stamp or writing, they will put a price sticker over it.  

  2. Hi guys. Just joined recently when I saw this thread. I'm from the Philippines and I grew up with those reprints from the early 80s. For a time those were the only way to enjoy DC/Marvel comics as there were no comic shops and bookstores are not carrying the US prints.  I think National Book store stopped printing when the US comics became widely available. They are still in business as a bookstore but not in reprinting books. They only printed select issues and it's normal to have them not in sequence as I remember.

    Goodwill and Alemars I think closed down during the mid to late 90s.

    Early 90s there was also a time there was Filipino translated comics of DC/Marvel by a company called MKPI (they were on newsprint though including the covers)
