I Like What I Got! (Foreign)

Too many to do photos so did a quick video. $6 for 24 issues. Action Force out of the UK (GI Joe) which includes some of the rarer issues including crossover with Transformers.

There were $1.99 per pack of 8 comics (so really $5.97 total before tax)

Did you grab those at a shop or online?

There are not that many memorable covers in the US run Of transformers or GI Joe, but the UK issues have some great covers, featuring main characters.

And because the UK was weekly, and they re-printed half a US comic a week, they had to create filler material (unique stories) for 2-3 weeks an every month. So sometimes they got out ahead of the US comics in advertising new characters, so some popular characters actually first appears in the UK books.

Now I need some of these too! Especially the Destro covers.

There is a thrift store not too far from me that gets comics in from time to time. I got them there. Eight comics per magazine bag priced at $1.99 a bag. I was like hell yeah. Especially since some of the rarer books were included.

Some of the backups include other GI Joe stories while other issues have Master of Kung Fu backups.

Sounds like some fun stuff!

Now that I know I can post reasonably sized pics, I’m going to start posting more here :+1:t3:

Where do you guys find these foreign books? Ive been on the hunt for the foreign versions of Milo Manara books since they’re too pricey in USD

For me, when I do eBay searches, I use the name of the comic, country I want and select Worldwide in filters.
