@HotKeyComics Great information Shelby. Show some of the inserts that come with the foreigns, like the Batman mask you got from me. Some of the French books I have seen had some great inserts that American comics don't have, such as games, masks, puzzles etc...

@HotKeyComics Yes, very informative! I have picked up a few comic books while on travel, not because they were foreign but because I am a comic book collector. No majors finds but I will be on the lookout now. It’s funny that you can find these comics in department store shelves or just lumped with other periodicals. I always need something to do while my wife is shopping or I end up the carrier of stuff.

Here is one that I picked up in Italy with several issues packaged under one book. Sorry about flash but the pages are really glossy.







Here is a Polish version that I picked up in Belgrade.







Are those considered first printings or reprints?

Nice! sorry for the delay responding, I'm in the middle of getting ready to move and sorting comics lol.

Yeah those are first prints, first time they appeared in that country. Italy loves combining multiple issues together and they also use really high quality products too.

Poland is a tough country to get keys from so really nice find!

@HotKeyComics I worked at a couple of art galleries, museums, and design firms at the time.

“Nice find” is relative, but I appreciate the kudos. I am mostly into printed, drawn, and painted works. Back then, my clients were collectors of “high”, cultural, and historical art, like pieces of the Berlin Wall, tribal masks & weapons, vintage royalty attire, out of production arms (such as the Mosin–Nagant), etc. Way too rich for my blood, but research and acquisition were fun!

This year is booked, but I plan to be in Europe for a couple weeks next year. In the meantime, I will research tough countries to get keys from. Thanks
