From the island of Aegina of the coast of Greece, someone decided the greeks had it all wrong about the cover of #129 and it's incorrect story. :roflmao:

 

If I had lived there i would have done the same... (tsk)

Like a real boss..... :sumo:

I came back to collecting after 17 years break. I used to buy and collect many titles, both Marvel and DC from Brazilian editors "Abril". with my cousin when we were kids in the end 80´s and start 90´s. We built up a nice collection but I stopped when I went to college 600Km away from home.

 

So you’re relativele young (I was born in 1969).

Marvels in Italy in 1971-1984 were pretty wonderful, although early and late issues have not-so-good translations (late ones because the publisher was going bankrupt).

 

Sorry to hear about your cousin – you did right in selling what is not of interest, the important thing is to remember him with some books you cherished together. (thumbs u

 

I don’t recall if I posted the italian #50 – and I don’t recall if this is the copy set aside for Matthew, as I have a pair of them… but here it is anyway:

Yesterday, I got this in the mail. The only number from Colombia. Best of all, there 2 cover. The 1st one is taken from Vampirella #19 (iconic cover of José González), and the second cover is the also iconic cover of Frazetta from #1. Inside, there a little bit of color, some story are with orange, and other with green.

These Philippine books are fascinating – they look like they survived a war. :)

 

Whatever do you mean by that? I guess roach/mouse chew does leave that kind of impression. ;)

 

You can't bother to ask me to find them in high grade because of the reasons I cited on the Philippine variant thread.

 

Here's a couple more from National Bookstore, from DC this time.

 

Green Lantern/Green Arrow 89
