There is no # 22, since the U.S. version is simply a reprint of Issue 1.

 

Here's a French version of # 1 in its place:

And that's it for the Mexican series.

 

The U.S. Silver Age Magnus series ran 28 issues, from 1963 - 1969.

 

The Bronze reprints started two years later (Nov. 1971) with issue 29, and ran through issue 46 (Jan. 1977).

I believe there may have been two different French reprint series.

 

Here's a few of the early ones (issues 1 - 4):

Here's an early Italian reprint of Issue 1, from June 1965.

 

Oddly, only about half of the interior's in color, while the other half's in black & white:

Awesome bro!!!!!!

Nice run. And FYI the community as well as most professional graders consider them foreign editions but sometimes they are reprinted in a foreign format and technically must be label as such. Now you need to get them in the pocket size Novaro published various formats due to paper shortages. I have John Cater 1 and berni swamp thing 10 in this format. They are hard to find.

Thanks, Define & Foxtrot.
