SPIROU 9 and AVENTURES 10 to 14

THE FIRST SUPERMAN COMICS PUBLISHED OUTSIDE THE USA

Superman first appeared in Action Comics 1 in May 1938 and he first daily strip was published in January 16, 1939 titled "Superman comes to Earth" See link

I am selling the very first Superman comics published outside the USA; Spirou 9, published March 2, 1939 in Belgium and Journal Aventures 10 to 14, published weekly from March 9 to April 4, 1939, in France. It pre dates even the first british Superman comic, which was Triumph Magazine 772, from August 5, 1939.

This is a list of the first foreign appearances:

Belgian, Spirou 6, MArch 2, 1939

French, Journal Aventures 10, March 7, 1939

Italian, Albi dell'Audacia 19, July 2, 1939

UK, triumph Magazine 772, August 5, 1939

Spanish, Ciclon el Super Hombre, early 1940

There are a lot of iconic panels in here, including the Superman car lifting form Action 1 and the Superman jumping over building from Action 7.

No need to say how rare are those comics, considering that they were published in two counties that would be ravaged by WWII only a few months later.

The comics are almost 80 years old and in exceptional shape with off white pages, individually bagged and boarded and not folded.

Wow! Never knew the French referred to Superman in 1939 as "Yordi." What's also cool is that this was published just two months before the Germans invaded France.
