    Hi Lou — I'm confused as far as the series, since you put the thread in "Copper/Modern": many books seem to be Bronze (and thus "volume 1" of specific titles) but since there are no pictures it's unclear.

    Osamu Tezuka - Metropolis (First US Edition) (メトロポリス, Metoroporisu) Dark Horse, 2003 «The inspiration for the central character coming from a publicity still of the female robot from Metropolis (even though he had never seen the film or even known what it was about). [?] The setting was based on pre-war Manhattan and Chicago, Emmy and her sister partly from Les Misérables, Michi's powers from Superman (although Tezuka never made the connection between the title of his work and Superman's city), Michi's burning from The Invisible Ray, and Michi's death scene from The Monstrous Fellows of the Country Underground (another Tezuka manga from 1948). [?] The characters Duke Red and Notarlin made their debut in Metropolis, and both of them featured in later works.» Copy in awesome shape, in my opinion above NM. NM+ - $65 Other pictures:

    Osamu Tezuka - Nextworld #1-2 (First US Edition) (来るべき世界, Kitarubeki Sekai) Dark Horse, 2003 «Created in a time when the Cold War was becoming hotter, Nextworld is Osamu Tezuka's parody of the tense relationship between the USA (represented as the 'Nation of Stars') and USSR (known in the work as the 'Uran Federation'). The main storyline focuses on atomic tests that create a race of mutant animals known as Fumoon, with psychic powers and intelligence beyond humans, who formulate a plan to evacuate hundreds of animals and a small group of people off the planet Earth. The reason for this is due to a large toxic cloud approaching the Earth, threatening to wipe out all life. Meanwhile, the two warring superpowers draw closer and closer to a confrontation. […] Next World is the last of Osamu Tezuka's early epic science fiction trilogy, consisting of Lost World (1948), Metropolis (1949) and Next World (1951).» NM - $60 for both volumes back covers and other pictures:

    Fantastic Four #5 - Italian edition in "Provolinus" (special supplement to the magazine "Linus") Milano Libri, 1967 Italian edition of Fantastic Four #5 (first appearance of Doctor Doom). This is the very first Italian edition, published in black and white a great adaptation (both graphically and in terms of translation) and with amazing printing quality within the Linus supplement "Provolinus" in 1967 (see pictures). Very nice midgrade copy of this beautiful early Italian key, downgraded for some chipping on spine. Overall presents a lot better than the stated technical grade. This is a super-cool book, if you are into collecting foreign editions — get it while it's still affordable. VGFN - $125 $110

    I'm grateful to Jim for removing a good deal of temptation…

    I thought it was for the missing price as well, not the delay which is often accepted by moderation if not exaggerate. I was about to suggest you to add a price, even if high and hypothetic, just for this reason, but at any rate you can re-list it.

    Defenders #4 - Italian Edition Editoriale Corno, 1974 This one came out in the same, antologic series of the Marvel Feature I am offering. Since the series started following the "picture frame" design Marvel had adopted at the time, when Corno had to publish books which were not picture frame, they turned them into this fashion. The book does not come with the original poster and sticker but it is in nice shape for the technical grade. FN- - $20

    Fantastic Four - Commemorative Italian edition Panini Comics, 2018 This book came with a metal plate reproducing the cover. It is also the first instance when the original cover was used with an accurate adaptation of the logo in Italian. Still shrinkwrapped on its original cardboard as it was distributed in newsstands. Book and plate are about NM, cardboard has wear and creases as it can be seen in the pictures. $100

    Definitely A. I do have a lower grade copy with a chunk out of a corner and I'm just happy with it.
