Comic book collecting with a foreign variant focus 19 19

[Chespirito]

here's my only SA foreign

1966

It reminds me of a Laurel and Hardy episode of when Laurel lived through WWI and still thought he was in war, even though it had been over for years.....it was kind of fuuny

Pif Gadget has been one of the most important french antologic comic magazines:

I have a friend which worked for them in the 1990s. One of our top Disney artists, Giorgio Cavazzano, also worked for the magazine:

great info,thanks.Looking at some of the other covers I would like to stumble across more.

I have the english digest of this and the background is blue if I remember correctly.

"whant me to cut the pizza in 6 or 8 slices Moose?"

D'uh,8 i'm really hungry!"

not a big Archie collector on purpose,just find a lot of EH editions,and won an auction lot of about 100 digests for 8 bucks.Thought they were all EH! but around a dozen english ones slipped in there.

Claudio is there anything you don't know about obscure foreign books?

Claudio is there anything you don't know about obscure foreign books?

 

Pif is not "obscure" by any means. In France it probably peaked to print runs much like those of Spider-Man or Astro Boy for the japanese.

How about I rephrase it to: Is there anything you don't know about foreign books that are obscure to those of us in the US?

That looks to be about as thick as an Overstreet price guide. Is it?

[TheLiamSturgess]

No, his angling is decieving. It's about 3/4 of an inch.

[porcupine48]

No,I angled it to try and show the thickness.It is a bit more than an inch thick,right around 4 cm.

[TheLiamSturgess]

Really? I must be misremembering - I've owned digests from that series before.

[porcupine48]

Not a variant,but certainly Canadian.Paper cover.

Wish I knew where it came from,there is a McDonalds ad on the inside cover,and Microsoft on the back.

Fun read.

I have some regular digests,then Double and the Geant.I will get a pic of them up all together.I went and measured it.It was bigger in my mind...

[porcupine48]

One of the older Archie EH comic size I have...man,I am gonna have to pull out my box of super hero EHs and get some pics up before you gang think I focus on Archie all the time...I just find them weekly it seems...for next to nothing.

[TheLiamSturgess]

I have the English version of that! I believe it was originally green rather than yellow.

[porcupine48]

AWESOME WICKED!
