I read this book last night. Jack Kirby is greatness in any language :headbang:

 

I really like how La Prensa editors handled the cover inks. It really improved the overall feel and composition versus the US edition. I often wonder if they even had references to go from or if they had to improvise on occasion. Oh well, its all GOOD!

For example, this is one of a few Superman "apocryphal" italian comics, which came out as a follow up of the very first story published here (very likely unauthorized) in 1939. They are super-rare and I would not know how to price it – I just picked it as the occasion arised, but they are pretty much "priceless".

Also, been real busy and haven't been around these parts much.... Getting issue 4 out of Foreign Comic Collector has absorbed a lot of time and energy. It had to be completely re-designed and I had to build it in another piece of software at home while the needs of a Wife, 2 kids, and a zoo of pets competed with my desire to get this thing out! :tonofbricks:

 

Anyways its done..... I have to thank everyone that helped with this issue!

 

LSComics, Liaton-9000, gmedina64, whetteon, 143ksk, and so many others..... I hope you guys enjoy!

I love that Italian version of Eternals..... I know you do as well Claudio!

These were among the first books I purchased at the newsstands: the italian Eternals magazine was also awesome because it featured Nova, Omega, 2001 and Machine Man, the Guardians of the Galaxy and Deathlok.

 

Oh BTW Claudio there is a thread on Italian Supes that needs your expertise sir! :gossip:

Where?

BTW, could you tell Liam I did not receive any activation email for the FCC forum (I subscribed a pair of days ago, talking with Tim). :shrug:

 

The new FCC layout is a lot tidier, and works definitely better. (thumbs u

 

No, sorry… :(
