So i have checked and my #17 to my greek is not whited out or marked. It is confirmed with a greek friend of mine that it is poor editing....

 

Direct Quote from my friend:

"I am almost sure there are similar cases with other Kampanas series. I think it was basically poor editing. These editions are a mess with the translations etc.. but I guess that makes them more attractive to collectors!!"

 

I now have 2 misprinted/poorly edited greek 129s...

 

One with the pages uncut properly and therefore unreadable and the other with a wrong number and correctly placed Punisher story.....

 

 

Notice the overhang uncut due to being folded inside at production....

 

#17 is a production print, not a marked, whited out or amended

It is a poorly edited misprint....

 

Staples in the #17 issue seem to be original and not tampered. I assume only a expert like JoeyC would really be able to confirm this

 

...and the money shot...or should i say...το φινάλε grande!

I have a couple of modern marvels in Italian. Some secret invasion, cap, thor, civil war and maybe some others. What is the best way to go about selling these? I am just not sure how well they would do with like eBay and such. Thanks for any help and im open to offers and can get anybody a list of what I have if you are interested.

You can try listing them in the sales forum here. Keep in mind, they're only worth cover, since demand isn't very high so don't expect to make bank. High res scans, advertise them as Italian variants, and you may get some interest!

[bryan_robson]

I knew I wasn't going to get bank. Just curious is all. Thanks for the info

[vaillant]

Also, as I said many times, it is better to call them for what they are, italian editions.

Especially since in the last years italian editions started to have "variants" following the US-american scheme, and thus calling them "variants" can cause confusion.

 

For example, this is an italian variant, in the proper sense of the term (it came with a t-shirt, and was limited):
