Awesome! I'm a big fan of Ras and Batman 244. (thumbs u

 

If you like that one, then you would really like the Brazilian Ebal or the Mexican Novaro, both printed just a few months after US original.

 

Here’s my Ebal.

I´m pretty sure someone here has the Novaro.

My first three Novaro translations! If anyone finds the Epucol variant to Batman 322, will you let me now? It was full sized as opposed to Novaro´ s pocket-sized Aguila and I would very much like to have it.

Here is another really cool Brazilian Ebal I got before the end of the year.

 

This one was published in 1968 and prints Brave and the Bold 30.

 

Like many Ebals from this time, the Editor gave local artists the chance to show off some of their work. In many cases, the cover has nothing to do with the original, but there are many instances, where the artist just makes its own recreation of the original cover.

 

Sometimes with very unique choices… (Flash with yellow mask) :facepalm:

 

The interior art is the same as the original in B&W

My good friend from Peru, Fernando Franco, publisher of Kingdom Magazine, has just emailed me to let me know about a new documentary by K3 films on the creation of Novaro!

It is awesome. click below to see the actual production offices and the offset printing press both of which I thought I would never again see!

I will try to contact them to get their authorization to add English subtitles to the video.

Here´s the link
