Of all the comics I only found two that were original “US” comics

I'd pick up the countries reprints of the U.S books. I do it when I travel to other countries for fun 👍

Awsome!

Just curious if you went “downstairs” and what you might have picked up? Any vintage Spanish editions of US characters?

Al Ripper, Terror of Chicago

Great, hard-boiled tough guy name.

If you can, you should visit Valencia

US comics seem to turn up everywhere, but I would have snapped up the Chicos & Leyendas Infantiles & Al Ripper. I always find the home-grown stuff more interesting. 

Nice to see a busy shop.

Came across this shop in Cordoba Spain. Unfortunately it was closed for siesta and as it was 45/113 degrees c/f I just didn’t have the energy to go back. I’ll never know what they might have had.

Never been to Spain but my best European finds were at the outdoor flea markets in France, England and Germany. Found some nice old French and English comics. But the best stuff were 1930’s European Disney and other US character toys as well as old vehicle toys. The kind of stuff that was never exported to the US.

The best thing was a beautiful, large boxed Disney tea set from the VERY early ‘30’s. Was made in Germany for European sale. The factory it was made in was destroyed by WWII bombing. It was brought home by an employee and was in mint condition. I eventually sold it to the WD Archives who had never seen it. I think I still have a picture of it somewhere.
