Of course, silly me. The original is the best isn't it. Very disrespectful for them to have changed it for the reprint title.

Crazy... I actually have quite a few National Bookstore books! :o More than I thought at least.... And, believe it or not I have some alamar bookstore editions that I mistook for NB's because the price boxes were completely blank similar to the NB's? Confusing... ill get pics of those in a bit...

 

But as it stands this is what I got as far as NB...

Hi guys. Just joined recently when I saw this thread. I'm from the Philippines and I grew up with those reprints from the early 80s. For a time those were the only way to enjoy DC/Marvel comics as there were no comic shops and bookstores are not carrying the US prints.  I think National Book store stopped printing when the US comics became widely available. They are still in business as a bookstore but not in reprinting books. They only printed select issues and it's normal to have them not in sequence as I remember.

Goodwill and Alemars I think closed down during the mid to late 90s.

Early 90s there was also a time there was Filipino translated comics of DC/Marvel by a company called MKPI (they were on newsprint though including the covers)

I recently pulled three NB variants from the regular bins at my LCS, $2 each in maybe VG/FN. Marvel Feature 3, Marvel Feature 4, and Marvel Presents 1. They've all been added to GCD for posterity! The most interesting thing I noticed was how some pages would be reprinted from totally unrelated books to keep up the page count... Marvel Feature 3 has the letters page from X-Men 98, and Marvel Feature 4 has the letters page from Amazing Spider-Man 153 with an explanation of the original Clone Saga by Roger Slifer. Print registration is significantly better on the Marvel Presents than either Marvel Feature.
