More Vampirella (again) today. Finally I found one for the #1 set. In fact, I got the whole run of Finnish series. Also, I add 1 domestic variant of the #1, the gold one limited to 500. That's a good day.

Mitico!

 

Each and every italian aged between 35 and 50 years old now, grew up with Grendizer, while in the US it was partially aired on local TV stations, mostly in New England.

I do have the english dubbed episodes on DVD (obtained in a trade), BTW, it’s interesting to hear the english dubbing and they are pretty much rare to get, I guess.

Very cool Matthew, thanks!

 

@Matteo: You’re slightly younger than me, but you may remember the very first to reach Italy (aired on private TV stations) was Danguard by Leiji Matsumoto (and I loved it).

I must admit that although they have been an important part of my formation, I have little memories of the TV anime series, Astroganger is one of the few exceptions, although it has not been released as in Japan had limited commercial success and unfortunately is largely forgotten.

Besides Italy Astroganger was huge in the Arab Emirates, anyway, where many people remember the series with fondness.

Grandizer Go!

 

I guess I got lucky growing up in New England, as we had the best cartoon block in the history of mankind - StarBlazers at 3:30 p.m. and Force Five at 4 p.m (if I am remembering those times correctly). We'd get out of school at 3 and just rush home, let me tell you.

 

Force Five had a different show every day of the week:

 

Monday - Danguard Ace

Tuesday - StarVengers (which I guess was called Getter Robo G in Japan)

Wednesday - Spaceketeers (Starzinger)

Thursday - Grandizer

Friday - Gai King

 

Most of my friends like Gai King the best, but Spaceketeers was my favorite.

 

So good. (thumbs u

Oh right, you had also Danguard (within the Force Five "imprint") – although I guess a good number were aired incomplete (judging from the schedule of Grendizer, of which only a number of episodes was dubbed).

To many pages for me to read to catch up

 

Not sure its all older issues here but I want to ask if anyone collects the Walking Dead foreign issues? Trying to get a list going but seems to be no love in modern section for foreign issues.

I have a Serbian set in cgc and a few raws. Just started the French trades put out by Delcourt. I'm told there is Dutch as well. I have a few German issues.

Got a pretty good run of Argentinian in cgc and a few of the raw Mexican version.

 

Most of these are pretty current and I'm having trouble finding how to buy these. Is the a company that sells current foreign issues from around the world here in the US? Or am I pretty much on my own?

the Amazing RJS collects all the Walking Dead #1 foreign editions...

 

i dont think he has them all but he would know the best of all the issues published....

 

He has the largest ASM194 and Conan1 foreign collections they are pretty incredible

 

 

[lscomics]

I'd agree. He would be the best one to ask about those. (thumbs u

 

And for the record... there's a board out there where there's nothing but love for foreign editions. Link
