I know that not everyone here appreciates the foreign counterparts of the books that we all know and love but... it's hard not to think this is at least a little bit cool.

 

I changed my collecting focus to foreign editions a few years back and have pretty much been trying to complete this run that whole time. I'm sure someone will want to point out that issues #85 & #86 are missing but that's because Editorial Novaro didn't publish them (presumably because of the drug use in the story).

 

If you are interested in foreign books, here's a link to my website where I have my collection displayed. (thumbs u

 

Here's the pics. :foryou:

I know how hard it is to complete a run or set and this is pretty impressive and unprecedented...

 

Any Adams O'Neil fan can appreciate in any language :applause::cloud9::o:applause:

 

 

 

i have to give mad props and kudos to Tim for his hunting and pure dumb luck or I wouldn't have never got an insane Iron Man 55

Ahhhhh shooot bro! Do me a favor and talk a little bit about how long this took to aquire Tim? hm Congrats! Crazy cool accomplishment considering the difficulty in getting some of the Novaro issues..... :headbang::headbang::headbang::headbang:

Congratulations :headbang:

 

Love to hear where you found them.

It's taken probably in the range of four years since I started to finally finish the run. As far as where I found them... they came from all over. Most of them came from Mexico and the last two I just got in today were from Argentina, the #76 actually came from Spain. I've never been able to track down the actual Mexican one without the Ptas.7 in the upper left corner.

 

 

I'm close to getting this set done too... not easy at all ;)

 

Congrats sir :)

 

xxx ooo

 

Rupp

That's funny... I though I was the only one :screwy: enough to try putting run of foreign books like this together. It figures that if anyone else would be it would be you Rupp. lol

Thanks everyone! :acclaim:

 

The time I spent to accomplish this has been spent to share it with you. A lot of people in the hobby aren't even aware that books like this exist. Others disregard them as nothing more than re-prints. Until you actually try to track down some though you won't be able to understand how scarce some of them are.
