I remember the Russians having a Silver age (late 19th Century).

I remember a lot of these; Vampirella, Heavy Metal (sounds easier to deal with than Metal Hurlant...;), etc.

Took me awhile to get back to the thread too.

I don't own much of anything anymore except a pile of undergrounds and a big, but incomplete collection of Heavy Metal magazines.

In the mid-80s, I owned and ran a local comic shop. I operated with consignments in order to get high-priced merchandise in the store, and had the opportunity to sit around and read all the old Marvels from the silver age. Much of the silly DC stuff too.

As a kid, I had had many of these comics, though not nearly all that I was able to read in the shop. Brought back pleasant memories almost every day. I've often thought about re-taking up collecting, but dismissed the thought whenever I look at the current prices.

...How thick are those Tio Rico comics ?
Do they have more than the standard 32 pages of American ones , like Heavy Metal does ?
Could you order , currency-wise , the English-language Disney comics Geppi puts out here ?
I presume you'd prefer Spanish-language ones , but you obviously read English perfectly . The Spain editions , for that matter , now that I think of it :oops: ????????? Perhaps not :roll: .

"uncle rich", donald duck and others, 32 pages.
The special ones, called "disney aventuras" came with 64 pages, and some of the fattest ones came with 96 pages or more.

I just did a little search and it seems they stopped publishing them in Spain :? I saw a huge book (from Spain) at a bookstore, tomorrow I'll go check it.
I need my fix of these guys: http://users.cwnet.com/xephyr/rich/dzon ... ethry2.gif
(:

Language is not an issue, english, spanish, whatever, I read everything that falls in my hands :oops:
Currency wise? Well, the premium ones are more expensive than I thought.
