Thank you, Darlene. I like picking up these random little lots.

These Strange Album things -

are made up like the T&P DC Annuals -

a bunch of random issues, including covers, bound together in a new wrap -

not as exciting as finding a Batman 181 in your Blackhawk Annual, but still pretty good.

Finally arrived from Hungary today. Superman with a Bernie Wrightson Cover.

Won this little lot on ebay UK last week - 

I bid on it for the G.I. Joe -

But this was a nice surprise. Inside Strange #151 -

 4 weirdly-sized, badly-trimmed trading cards 

Also some French McFarlane Spider-Man -

 

A Finnish Spider-Man -

& 2 Italian Draculas -

I don't think I've posted these here. The Forever People TPB is a Mexican printing. The DC logo is slightly smaller and says. "Jack Kirby" instead of "Jack Kirby's"

If so...

I read that-just wonder if there's different test markets in Canada?I can't imagine it was all over Canada because I have several Dell in my collection from the dates shown bought local like yard sales ect. that are regular priced.Goes for the latter Gold Key 20¢ers also.

For real,I was looking at that same article the day I brought above home.

I've never looked too deeply into the non-UK Dell price variants - maybe someone else here has done some investigations....
