Comic book collecting with a foreign variant focus 19 19

[vaillant]

Signed by everyone on the planet…

I think I could not enjoy a book signed on the plastic case…

 

Anyway, it would be tough to visit each author and having them sign the books. I have just two: a pair of ones Jack Kirby signed me and one I had from Steranko when he was in Prato (with John Buscema) in 1992.

Very cool. I used to go to a lot more cons to get signatures and still have quite a few raw signed books. When I discovered that CGC had the SS program it seemed like such a perfect fit for me as far as collecting graded books. I've taken that one step even further and am now focusing mainly on Adams (obviously ) and Wrightson books.

I don't think that limb stretches too far. If I don't now I'm sure I will have by the end of next year.

It seems La Prensa books are tough to find in grade, that’s a great copy.

I’d love to have a Los 4 Fantasticos #1 one day…

I have one in my possession at the moment but I've already worked out a trade with Chespirito for it.

[vaillant]

Don’t worry, it‘s a long term wish.

[lscomics]

Really? You should have expected to see more sooner rather than later.

[vaillant]

Now you have to learn or improve your spanish in order to read them.

PM sent!

I'd have to learn it but since my intentions is to submit a considerable amount of these for Signature Series I'll have to settle for reading my HCs & TPBs.

I’m taking for granted you’ve already read the stories in their original english.

Joking apart, in some cases it’s interesting to see how the stories have been translated in other languages.

In italian, for example, the very first issue of the Fantastic Four was published on a famous magazine belonging to a cultural area which was politically left-wing. The adaptation was superb, but the hints to the "space race" and the cold war feelings were somewhat avoided. While when Corno published Fantastici Quattro #1 the translation was awful but Reed's worries of beating the U.S.S.R. to the space race were kept. This is just an example.
