#JackedKirby - Superman... or Mister Miracle via Mexico? 💥💥💥 I love a foreign reprint as much as the next guy, but Mexico was on some next level stuff when they began producing reprints of famous DC comics in the 70s/80s. 💥💥💥 Trying to capitalize on the more WELL KNOWN heroes (Batman/Wonder Woman/Superman), Mexican publisher Anguila Novaro used the Big 3s names as the titles of the books... even if they didn’t appear in those books AT ALL! 💥💥💥 Take this one for example. This is #Issue1425 of the Superman series... you can see the issue number stamper on the top left corner box. But in reality it’s a reprint of Mister Miracle #Issue1 from 1971.... Superman is no where to be found! This was published in Mexico in 1984 by Novaro Anguila publishing. 💥💥💥 In a cool piece of trivia, even though Anguila Navarro reprinted over 1500 books under the “Superman” title masthead, just 42 of those issues featured a character NOT Superman in the cover/issue. That makes this book super rare in the sense that even though there many be plenty of Mexican reprints out there, only a very small percentage of the ones featuring someone other then The title characters are out in the world being resold! This one is listed on EBay and is currently listed for $264.00!!! 💥💥💥 #JackKirby #KingKirby #Kirby #Mexico #MexicanReprint #MisterMiracle #MM #Superman #NovaroAnguilaPublishing #NovaroAnguila #70sComics #ComicsOfThe70s #80sComics #ComicsOfThe80s #Comic #Comics #ComicBook #ComicBooks #IGComics 💥💥💥 Shout out to Thomas Sciacca for posting this on FB and triggering my curiosity! https://www.instagram.com/p/CBTiEFMBUZ4/?igshid=ohlorscwbnot
