Comic book collecting with a foreign variant focus 19 19

[NinjaSealed]

Quick question to both you guys.... does either of those contain stickers?

 

The italian Cap #1 originally contained BOTH poster and stickers, but to find one with both means to be willing to spend over $200…

 

Mine has no poster or stickers either.

 

Vaillant, what would you say the going rate for this book in VF would be? I may sell it as I don't really collect Cap at all.

I’m not really up to date with prices on a number of italian editions.

Generally speaking, the first Captain America issues are valued less than the first Fantastic Four or Spidey, simply because it started a few years later.

Your copy looks nice, so I’d say no less than $60-70 (without poster and stickers).

 

This is a copy offered for 70 Euro currently sitting (unsold) on eBay.it:

Here’s a copy with the poster currently auctioned on eBay.it –

(the price is quite crazy, in my opinion, as it does not have even the stickers):

Ahhhh man, no stickers or posters guys... those little freebies are so very cool. I can see why books that include them are priced at a premium.

Those are stunners

 

Came across this book while long box diving this afternoon. I love this color in contrast to the original.

Stick around and you'll quickly find out that there doesn't seem to be much Claudio doesn't know.

Picked this up in Copenhagen a few days ago. It's the very first danish Spidey! From 1967, a tough piece to find, they had one a couple years ago but in bad condition.

I also found this Filemon album that I had been looking for for many years. It is a french comic that started publishing in 1965 ('Philémon' in original). 16 albums have been published in France but only three of them have been translated into swedish. I have not seen any english translations. The story is about a teenage boy who lives with his father on a farm. He falls into a well and is sucked into the water, which serves as a portal to another world, where he experiences all kinds of fantastic adventures. A must read!

I totally love this storyline…

What is weird about these Heritage editions (Canadian?) is that the cover paper looks a lot yellower than US books, and also the cover graphic design has something "vintage" about it and they look like 1960s books while they are late Bronze…

Hello people!

 

look at this...TOPOLINO - Italy (Mickey Mouse) #3000, published few weeks ago.

 

TOPOLINO is probably the most long-lived comic book in the world!!!

 

First issue was published in 1949...and for decades now it has been published on a weekly basis....

 

[FastFasterFastest-migratio]

THE FROGMEN #2, Dell, May-July 1962 - TV MUNDIAL Los Hombres Rana

 

[vaillant]

 

Believe it or not, Federico, it‘s the first time I see it so closely!

 

I was at the lunch where the guys from the Papersera forum awarded the current Topolino editor (Valentina Poli) but at the last Reggio Emilia convention, slightly after the book came out, it was impossible to find. And that is weird. I wonder which print run they have had on that.
