Hello Everyone, I recently Bought the attached Dell Otto Variant from Ebay and to my surprise when it arrived, it turned out to be a mini sized comic! It measures 7 3/8 inches in height & 5 1/4 inches in width. Its behind a standard size bag and board in the photo. My question in: A. Does anyone else know anything about this comic? When it was available? its rarity? any significance behind the small size? B. Will CBCS grade this? |

A) Never saw it before, but Panini Comics is the name of the company that distributes Marvel in Europe/overseas. B) CBCS will grade and slab it, but smaller sizes are charged more for the specialty inserts needed to slab them properly. |

Ok, I did some checking around and I believe the comic is pre 2006. I think the size is normal for a French comic. As for rarity and value, I would suggest posting this on the foreign comics thread or perhaps in a couple different Facebook groups. | ||

This is Marvel Encylopedia X-Men # 2 published in 2003. Panini, as they are known to do, reprinted the book with a virgin cover "At last, a comprehensive, up-to-date fully illustrated biographies of more than 350 x- men characters from the hit movies and beyond! A must-have addition to the collections of die-hard fans or the perfect entry into the x-men universe for new readers! Hardcover, 128 pages, full color." |

From the description given I think they just swiped the cover, sounds like the interior contents are different. | ||

Quote:Originally Posted by JLS_ComicsI had no clue this even existed. Panini Comics seemed to have reused the cover art and reprinted uncanny xmen 394, fantastic four 60 & daredevil 168 for this. |
