We need our Australian experts to weigh in, but my understanding is that some Australian comics are printed in the UK because I've also seen them called "UK" comics.

Late to the party here, but there were Australian prints made for the UK market. The Australian market versions often had an 8d price while those for export to the UK were sixpence, 6d. The only difference other than the price is the back cover ads. Here are two I own.

I'm really loving the search for cool foreign editions.  For me, its all about finding cool covers not seen in the U.S.  Some are drawn by foreign artists.  Others are by notable US artists - usually internal repurposed panels (not redrawn) into covers like these:

I've already got fantastic covers by Barks (one of my favorite DD stories) and Foster that never appeared in the U.S.  Cool stuff!

I love that series. I now have all 20, though I'd like a better #1. The b&w printing works pretty well for Foster's work. Here's a splash panel I especially like.
