Norman Scott Robinson, a moderator of the Comic Book Historians Facebook Group, recently highlighted a great resource of non-American comic covers reprinting US comics, Globo Comico – located on the photography site, Flickr.
The resource includes covers of many international reprints of many superhero, humour and adventure comics, including, for example, the 172 issues featuring original non-canon Sgt. Fury stories/art that were published by La Prensa only in Mexico between 1971-1976.
The original material was licensed featuring work by Mexican artists Ramiro Zittle and José Luis González Durán.
Other albums include African, East Asian, European, Latin American, Middle Eastern, Indian comic covers and much more, offering a fascinating look at the way US comics and heroes have been sold to fans across the globe.
