Comic book collecting with a foreign variant focus 19 19

[jdandns]

Here's an "X-Men Adventures" in Spanish. Even though it's a full issue and there's even a poster in the centerfold, it's very lightweight. They used very thin paper on these.

See that box on the top left with the differing country prices... 

That was actually the bit that confused me.

Love it!

I've got a Twilight Zone and a Boris Karloff from that publisher. Can't find my scans or I'd post them.

Found the Phantoms at HPB, and the Finnish X-Men at a local comic shop. Storm looks so strange on the back cover without color.

Some nice Danish Batman from the 60's.

I used to own a nice copy of this book and sold it a few years ago but never would have I imagined to be able one day to find a NM copy of this issue. This book is simply almost impossible to find in decent shape due to very poor paper quality (cover paper being the same as inside pages paper) so to find a copy that looks like it was released from the press yesterday was quite an amazing find!

Very nice.

I never knew this had the same cover as the Marvel UK Avengers 1

According to GCD, the Marvel UK came out in September, 73 & the EH in May, 74. Another type of cover set to collect! A second use of a foreign produced original!

Danish Star Wars 1977-81.

I was very fortunate to see this book in person when you bought it. It was a remarkable find.
