A few covers from my complete run of Batman published by Interpresse (Belgium)! Those are pretty cool as they typically include a Golden Age Batman story after the Bronze Age one.

I have a few of these later issues,with the painted covers.Love them!Complete you say!?Well done sir!

I've only found some in the nineties,one hundreds locally,and I pick up a LOT of French language books being so close to Hull/Gatineau.Just passed up on some EH Archie digests yesterday,no one wants em,and ai've tow suitcases full.

I did find these at a local book box!Super happy,beauty shape for seventies,early eighties editions

No the Aussie books were sold to Geppi then sold later on. While the American books from Morrison were sold to Doc a Australian comic book dealer. The Black hawk 24  book was also originally from the Morrison collection

Posty just dropped some goodies - 

All really nice copies bar a few rusty staples.

I have been looking for a copy of this comic for a while.  This last week I was finally able to find one. I planned on sending it in for the Todd Mcfarlane Signature Series Event, however shipping delays from Brazil have excluded this one from making it in time.  I still plan on sending it to a facilitator to have it done, but if anyone here has a copy especially if we could work something out that I might still get it in for this event I would definitely be interested.  Without further delay...

Hi, just letting everyone know that we’ve created a podcast specifically dedicated to Foreign Comic collecting. It’s called ‘Foreign Comics Calling’. Here’s a link to our episode zero. It’s over an hour long and we talk about our statement of intent for future episodes along with a whole ball of Foreign comics stuff. We’d be honoured (we being myself, Matthew Roybal, Eric Miller and Stephen Bagley) if you give our ‘cast a listen. 
 

Thanks, everyone..

Ken.

The fact that Thor is in Australia in this version probably explains why he didn't put on his long pants

Lucky he put pants on at all. That's Sunday best at my place.

Two small lots from ebay UK -

140 reuses the cover from ASM 101, but 139 is where the reprint of the story starts.

The additional unique covers are great aren't they

Maybe that explains why I have three copies of 139 & only one of 140.

Also, I just noticed...

The 139 shows Morbius giving Spidey a taste of the glove outside on a roof somewhere, while the image from ASM101/SMCW140 shows Morbius b&*%$-slapping him down some stairs in a spooky mansion-type setup. I guess what I'm asking is, why does Spider-Man lead with his face?
