Comic book collecting with a foreign variant focus 19 19

[Chespirito]

Two peeps own that much....wow

Hmm… You mean foreign editions for each and every country?

If so, an enormous number of comics in my collection is a foreign edition, as it’s the italian edition of either a US, french, japanese, argentinian, belgian or other countries' comic.

 

Since I have a great deal of native italian books, I guess my collection is 50%-50%.

 

If the question was strictly related to superhero comic books, my collection is more or less a 70% of original american comics (about a few long boxes, and some short ones) and a 30% of italian editions of the aforementioned.

[vaillant]

P.S. It is clear that to me, USA editions are the original ones, and thus not foreign, they would be "foreign" merely in the strict sense of the word, as they are comics from another country, in another language.

Not sure what you're getting at here. Do you not like them? Don't collect them? Frustrated because you can't find the ones you're looking for?

Besides, these are not "foreign comics", just foreign editions.

The problem is not when the stupid speak, but when the intelligent pay attention to the stupid, don't mind me when i'm acting stupid.

[vaillant]

Never mind, you are "foreign" (at least to me)…

It's hard for me to belive that the first of these books was submitted for grading in the begining of 2009.

Now, I can officially...like officially..say that I now own every single foreign edition and US reprint that has the cover to ASM 252. Today I received my 2012 French reprint "La Naissance de Venom (1/2)"......

 

22 ASM 252 books

ASM 252 Mini Promo book

ASM 252 Russian Bootleg

aaaand the German Spiderman 1/444 Blank with a Ron Frenz Recreation of ASM 252..

 

23/25 are graded SS ...totally stocked...This was my second completed project of a single book/cover, but by far, the most pimpest foreign "set" in existance !!!

 

:headbang:

Pics please!

I will have proper scans for all of them once I return from deployment...but, basically (in a rough manner I supposse), this is what how the set looks ...the russian book had thick cardstcock for all its pages, just translated scans from digital files on the net put together to make the book (not sure if it got an "NG" designation)...

 

 

unbelievbly awesome collection. but I think you're also missing the US Direct version, with spidey head instead of barcode. easy enough to get I think, just surprised you dont have it yet.

Technically speaking this may actually be a foreign edition, as I am sure it uses italian material inside, and seems to mirror (judging from the cover) a recent issue of "Topolino" (graphic design is similar). Cover by Giorgio Cavazzano or one of his many "imitators"…
