Comic book collecting with a foreign variant focus 19 19

[vaillant]

vaillant,you seem to be the only one who likes the non hero books as I do,so,for you sir

 

You can not believe it, but I think I actually bought this very same book (or at least others from 1984 and 1985): they used to import them from germany where I vacationed at the seaside. Of course I did not know a word of german, but I loved to buy them because each issue contained either stickers, a poster or some paper gadget. I still have some of the stickers, and I loved to read the german words and laugh, precisely because they sounded funny and I did not understood them.

 

For example, there is an Uncle Scrooge story where in the original italian Scrooge has a room labeled on the door "ciarpame" (which is a funny word in italian, and now slipping out of use, which is a pity) – the german version had "gerümpel" which made me laugh because of the sound.

The story was published here, on the german Lustige Taschenbücher #43.

I am affectioned to this worn out issue because it has been obtained in a trade with a close friend of mine:

 

 

which is the german edition of Classici Disney #64 (in the german edition Uncle Scrooge has a "DD" on the helm because his name in german is Onkel Dagobert).

 

 

This series has been pretty much what got me into collecting: it reprinted the best italian Disney stories (with the exception of some issues, e.g. #6 is Barks stories only), and is one of the most cherished and collected italian titles: early issues, especially in grade, command premium prices.

Suffice to say that if I should decide to sell my #2 I could afford a lowgrade FF#1…

So after some consideration Matt (Define999) and I agreed that FCC needed a social presence on the web. Here's the link to FCC's Facebook page. Check it out!

I really like those thick foreign mags, over 160 pages each.

This little batch of Aussie gems adds nicely to my stash. Overall they add a book to one set and create four other sets.

We need to add a pair for Golden and Platinum (or their foreign equivalents).

I just acquired a 1939 italian Superman (the third of only four issues) – which features a "bootleg" story written and drawn in Italy (the first two contained Superman stories translated from the newspaper strips).
