I’ve been working on this set for a while now. I’m still looking for 1 more book. Spiderman The Invincible from Australia.

I missed this thread!

Shame EH comics never used that cover for the French Canadian reprint of the story.It's in here,but I'm guessing you are putting a cover set together only

Yes, just the cover set. I was disappointed to see they used the 193 cover for that book.

A lot of near misses for collectors with that company,cover wise.They are/were fairly close-Quebec is a ten minute walk for me-so I pick them up when I see them.

That's just great isn't it. I love the simplicity and general lack of finesse 

Yeah. They seem to lose interest towards the end. That's #18, which is the last issue in the Greek series. The earlier issues all have normal (borrowed from the original) covers.

There's also an implication that Wolverine is in there somewhere. He ain't, but the lot was so cheap, I don't care.

Here's the rest of my Greek Spideys.

Again, I like this one the most, probably due to it's unfamiliarity. Quite serene isn't it.

It's really nice to see this thread pick up a little bit of steam again!

Bloody foreigners

Here's a fun one for this thread... Swedish version of ASM #298 (first McFarlane Spidey), with purple webs and a funky gradient background instead of the white one.

Love them!Do you have any of the giants comic-o-ramas?I was surprised to find some more recent-well 90s Archie books re-bound a few years ago.

And I still have yet to find an EH treasury.I ask as I see you're in Montreal,where they are likely more common.I'm very close to Hull/Gatineau here,so have been fortunate over the years.Still only up to about a long,maybe a half dozen jumboramas.

Have you read this wonderful labour of love?It may be a bit hard to find now

No Comicorama (Marc the Comic Hunter is a  good source in Montreal). 

Haven't got a copy of the Heritage Guide but I bought many European DC variant from Rosaire Fontaine (great guy!). That's how I was able to complete my Interpresse Batman and Superman runs.

Yeah, it's my favourite, too. And again, it comes after a solid run of 'borrowed' covers.
