Hello Everyone.

 

I have been reading several threads about people with some nice foreign comics in their collections.

 

Thought it was time to dedicate a thread to these low print run variants & re-makes of our favourite Gold, Silver & Bronze comics.

 

To start things off is an Australian What If #1 reprint.

 

It is about half normal comic size. 5 X 7 inches

 

Regards,

Here is an Avengers hardcover trade from Great Britain, put out by World Distributors in 1975. It reprints a few Avengers stories from the early 100s, a Cap issue, and has a few cool pinups. Picked it up from Motor City Comics in 2003, having never seen it before or since anywhere else. thumbsup2.gif

Jim, where did Germany publish these? As I recall most of the early 60s books were reprinted within the last 10 years, is that correct?

 

Does anyone know when other countries started publishing US comics? In one of the SA threads there is a discussion on Mexico's comics and they were publishing at least in the 1950s, and I think in the 1940s as I recall. The UK/Canada clearly was publishing back in the early 1960s and I presume earlier than that.
