Love the hebrew and thai lettering on the Supermens… :)

 

@Tim: Sweet! But I would have kept the single image scans, so they’re easier to reference. (thumbs u

The images on the Foreign Set page were put together by our good friend Matt. He and I talked about it a bit the other day and I may end up (eventually) changing those over to the individual pic format as well. It will make it easier to add/remove books as they're acquired/sold/traded. Maybe with enough :blahblah: he could be convinced to do the same so as to not be so stubborn about not trading books he already has pictured on his site. :baiting:lol

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 had seen the two various covers before, my conclusion was that the image that I had seen with the 18 was someone messing with the actual image...wow..this is very very neat to see....awesome really, awesome (worship)

 

This is mind blowing for a 129 set collector! :o:o:o:o:o:o

 

Because I have access to the Greek database on spideys and I am not sure if it represents this discrepancy? WTF man..... Im going to go check and see if they have 2 129's and if not whats taking the place of the 17? Did they really play that fast and loose with the numbering and covers? WTF :o:o:o:o:o

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.

Apparently you doubt my ability to use and alter your OCD to suit my ends. meh

 

This might just have to become a "pet" project. :devil:

Matt,

 

someone in the Greek Forum told me that in the past some greek collectors were trying to line up the correct covers with the correct stories.

That still doesn't explain the difference in the numbering in the upper left corner. :baiting::gossip:(shrug)

Well here is what is on the Greek forum database! I put the larger scans on the bottom!

 

greekdatabsecompareandcontrat.jpg

 

So the database has the Greek 129 as 17 which is actually not what we have mainly seen right? My Greek 129 is an 18 number with mismatched insides?

 

But, what the databse says is 18 is numbered 17! :o so WTF! :o Also, Tim is right Tony... if a collector was trying to match up proper story with proper cover the one you have that says 17 would still stay 18.... unless its a marker type correction? hm Are you sure its pre-printed Tony? The plot thickens.....

 

If its ok with you Tony I am going to pose this question with your image and mine at the Greek forum... can I use your image? hm

 

Tony you have seen mostly 18's numbering right? Liams is what? Who else do we know has the Greek 129? hm

the cover prints are different and the one inside does not match. I cannot even explain it myself

 

i dont know if it is a collector created item or publisher correction....

 

Could be a 2nd printing? Could the rabbit hole of Greek kabanas Hellas foreigns go deeper than any of us might have thought? hm
