I just got this in. I generally don't post my foreigns because I don't want more competition than there already is. But I just had to post this one.

I just wanted to say thanks to all that have posted their finds in this thread.  For many years, I viewed foreign comics as just a weird phenomenon.  But around 10-15 years ago, I started getting more interested in European comics after a trip to Paris and one of the many cool comic book stores there.  Most of what I have are variants of Warren magazines (mostly Vampirella) from France, Finland, Spain, UK and Australia.

One of these days, I'll find the time to take photos and post them.  In the meantime, thanks to all for sharing these truly rare pieces of ephemera!!  

We are all just "comic collecting geeks" ...  just wait until the bug really gets you, you will need another room just for all the foreigns... addicting 

Brazilian Gold has many classic good girl covers.... titles of  O Guri, Gibi mensal 

Here is Mexican Jungle

Like it. 95 PTAS. I'm assuming that's Spanish pesetas.

Here's some French books that I just picked up...a few minor keys, plus Wolverine #79 which was the first comic that I ever bought back in 1994!

Got this in the post yesterday. All the way from France for 1 Euro. Mind, I had to wait nearly a month for it to turn up.

I find the back cover just as interesting.

It gives me a list to work from when I'm on the hunt.

I picked this one up recently.

It's a thick square bound.

Besides Challengers 6 it also had the interior to Showcase 19 (Adam Strange).

German Flash from 1969

Here is an interesting Video describing the norwegian publishing of Marvel Comics in 1968. Koloss (Hulk), Ederkoppen (ASM) and FF. Considering that norway had around 7 million inhabitants this books must be pretty rare.

Bought these December 17 . Just arrived today from Berlin.

1994 was also the year I started to follow super-hero stuff, with this one here:

 

Our Wolverine 79 is this one (from 96):
