Comic book collecting with a foreign variant focus 20 20

I'm a big Leo O'Mealia fan.  I was upset at losing out on some original art of his from the mid-to-late 50's, so I went hunting for a consolation prize.  I found some neat 1935 Mexican Fu Manchu reprints in Sucesos Para Toros with an awesome Fortunino Matania wrap-around cover (this is BEFORE Detective Comics reprinted their Fu Manchu beginning with issue 17 in 1938).  As a bonus, there's also some Alex Raymond inside!

Apparently this may be the only way I'll be able to buy Manara covers cheap!

Marvel's Greatest Miscut #4 

My mission is to work out which comic's bottom is showing at the top there......

Looks like a Namor leg, doesn't it....

Only copies on the census..... very happy this thread still lives! It is like a baby you birthed and it grows and grows still. I am a very proud poppa.

Some amazing rare stuff in the few pages.

 

Cross posting from the ducks thread a few weeks ago, probably one of the most successful new comic series in the world of the 70's, it would became the top selling book from the publisher and probably in the country, besides the series would have Colombian, Portuguese and Spanish editions.

Number 1:

 

Here side by side with my old copy that I had since 96:

 

The fans favorite n°6, the first that wouldn't have a reprint:

Another nice early issue, n°22

Some scaaaaaaarce Argentinean stuff:

More will come in the next days :P
