Very cool books my friend! Welcome to the club!

 

I have some cool books coming in (from various sources) that I will be able to post very soon.

May 18… Then that was the reason for the delay. Tim = awesome.

Totally love the "Excelsior!"

P.S. Why CGC insists in writing "Marvel Comics", which is not clearly the publisher, in the foreign editions. It should have read "La Prensa, 9/62", with details in the label notes (i.e. "Mexican edition of Fantastic Four #1").

Now I was just browsing my (incomplete) collection of Shang-Chi, which I have never read, and since I knew at some point Iron Fist ("Pugno d’Acciaio" in Italian) was published as a backup feature I thought… «Wait a minute and if…» and… Yes! I do have the first appearance of Sabretooth, that’s in issue #49 (one of the more scarce, as the italian Shang-Chi ended at issue #54, then there is a pretty rare 5 issues mini-series).

 

Black and white, those were magazine-sized, the same as the Eternals, Corriere della Paura (antology of Marvel horror titles) and Dracula:

Between working out the trade and getting it signed and slabbed I was starting to think the process would never end.

Oh, it was WELL worth the wait…

I was JUST talking about that a few minutes ago...

My absolute favorite book....

[Eerie Publication]

These are oversized Canadian books, but I can't find them in GCD. Anyone know anything about them?

 

 

 

I think they are the english version publish by Heritage. The guide described them as rare and price them at 40$ in VF/NM

I have been having the same problem with CGC for awhile.

 

Would you guys be interested in helping me compile a list for CGC to reference?

[vaillant]

I have no CGC comics, Liam, but I would advocate for that.

And while we are at it, my italian #1 – I’m still undecided whether I should sell it…

I have the poster but not the original sticker which also came with it.

 

[vaillant]

BTW, sticker positioning should be like this (not my copy):

And the poster… (not my copy, mine has tape staining as I "repaired" it time ago…)
