Also WildC.A.T.S. #1 Gold is doing well. :shy:

 

I have been trying to get one of these 9.8 graded for a while. First Grifter right?

 

Yup.

 

However, there might be some random magazine out there with a "prototype" Grifter that I'm not aware of yet. :insane:

Sure, there are foreign versions of Man of Steel #18, Spider-man #1, and Amazing Spider-man #300, but does anyone know if there are also foreign versions of nothing-happened books like Man of Steel #16, Spider-man #4, or Amazing Spider-man #302?

 

I get the impression that foreign editions were mostly "wait-and-see, greatest hits, reprints".

Greg - since this thread's been resurrected, I can answer that no - foreign reprints tend to be all books from a given run, not just greatest hits.

I can speak about two specifics -- first, I've got Mexican reprints of the first 28 issues of the Gold Key Magnus issues, although they were printed roughly 5-6 years later.

For more modern books, my dad went to Italy every summer in the early 90s. I've got books like Wolverine # 41, but also Wolverine # 35 in Italian, as well as Kevin Smith's Daredevil # 1 and # 3; X-Men # 219; Black Panther (1990s) # 1, Punisher War Journal # 30; some random Web of Spider-Man issues, etc. I also lived in Tokyo in 1998. As popular as Manga is there, it was _very_ rare to see any American comics. In a year of searching, the two I came across were Spawn # 1 and Spawn # 3.

For the Italian editions, they generally did two issues at a time, with only one issue on the cover. So in some cases the key's not shown.

I don't have any specific examples but can imagine instances where say...New Mutants 86 is on the cover but the issue contains New Mutants 87 as well, etc.

For this reason, the numbers don't correlate either -- Spider-Man in Italian is "L'uomo Ragno" but the series reprinted from among all the Spider-Man titles at once, so it could be an issue Spectacular and an issue of Amazing; next issue an issue of Web and Amazing, etc.

It's actually just dumb luck that ASM 300 happens to be on the cover of the Italian version & not 299.

Were they really "thought to be lost forever" though or does that just make for a good pump?

I can find more holofoil material in the actual comics than all the inventory in that warehouse combined. And that's probably in one issue alone
