Not only is this a low print Canadian comic it is the even lower print Canadian comic in French. My website chronicles all the Captain Canuck issues. |

| Hey everyone. Just picked this up from the post office today. This cover is very interesting to me because it uses the the Nova from the original cover with a new background. What is really cool is that he is in his "Kid Nova" costume on this cover which Nova only used for a few issues in New Warriors Quick question about this though. How would I go about figuring out what year this came out in? The dates in the indicia dont make a lot of sense to me and I don't read Spanish. Any help would be appreciated.  |

| 1973 is the date this story was published in the USA. 1974 is the date this issue was published in Spain. The 1968 date I'm not sure but it might be the year Magazine Management started licensing Marvel material. |

| Ok, in that case then I think the problem is the title, which is not Nova. The title is Selecciones Marvel, which was 1st published in Spain in 1977. According the the Spanish database Tebeosfera, this issue is dated as 1978. The indica is still confusing. EDITIONS VÉRTICE had been publishing Marvel material well before 1974 so it can't indicate when they began licensing from Marvel. It's fairly common with international editions to find publishing errata such as mis-numbering of issues but this may not be the case here. You'll have to check with an expert in Spain to see what the indica could mean. Hope this helps! N. Scott Robinson sonrob@msn.com Globo Cómico: Foreign Comics Information Resource |

| I see, thanks for the info. If it was published in 1978 that's 11 years before this costume debuted in the states which is incredible to me. | ||

| Mis-coloring is also quite common! I have numerous examples of Thor and Captain American without pants from multiple countries as well as highly mis-colored characters - you should see the Daredevil from Yugoslavia with blue shorts, green gloves, and yellow belt! | ||

| Here are some examples of whatI mean. MIS-NUMBERING   These are Gotham Comics editions from India. The shark cover is actually #6. Without confirming with dealers from India who knew what came out first, you'd think this was a variant cover! You'll never find one with #6 on the cover. That drove me crazy for a while until I started seeing this in other countries/series/publishers.  This is an issue of Grendaiyzer from Lebanon. What looks like "70" in the upper left corner is actually Arabic numbers for 68. Arabic is read right to left except for numbers, which are read left to right! |

 This one reads as #63 but it is not!  This one is #63. What the publisher did during this run from #58-71 is publish an issue and then 2 issues later the same thing was re-published. The only difference between the 2 editions is one includes small Arabic writing on the cover. In consistency with the run, this second Spider-man story would appear as #68 (two issues after the previous example #65). That took a while to figure out but the plus side is I can read Arabic numbers now! |

| Can't really say for certain. We know for sure in the later 1960s when Marvel super hero stories first appeared in Yugoslavia (1967), the color directions were not given with the original art so they did what they wanted. But this occurred into the 1980s even after the colors were correct in preceding issues so it's probably a little of both. Here's one from Indonesia: original art & story and a Thor without pants! Maybe it's Norse God Indo summer wear??  |

| Great books guys! Personally I think most coloring changes were done consciously in the sense that without color info they did what they wanted. And even with the right color seps its not like today where a foreign license holder cant fart without Marvel or DC's permission. You have to remember that license holders back then were sorta givin free rein to do whatever they wanted. This was pre-internet and pre-globalization, the stuff the license holders were creating was never supposed to come back to haunt Marvel or DC. All Marvel or DC cared about was that the check cleared. Thats why the Greeks were able to leave the Spidey villain Shockers name a literal dildo in one issue. Who cares its funny right… boy times have changed…. LOL And thats just the licensed stuff, one of the most interesting areas of the foreign niche are the bootlegged editions. An entire book could be written about the Indonesian bootlegging comic world all by itself! |
