Foreign editions of UK comics/strips
I was wondering if anyone here had come across any unusual foreign editions or reprints of UK comics or strips, and when this practice started - especially foreign language versions. I know 2000AD had a Spanish counterpart called Dan Dare and included things like 'The Harlem Heroes'. Going further back, some strips from Look-In (Space:1999 and Kung Fu to name but two) were reprinted in the Portuguese TV Junior. Italy cribbed 'UFO' and 'The Persuaders' for Qui Giovani, and Holland had its own version of TV Century 21 crossed with Lady Penelope called TV2000.
Eagle had several different overseas versions I gather, but does D.C. Thomson have foreign editions? Any others of note or interest?

Some of Star Trek strips form TV21 were reprinted in the weekend edition of 'The Australian" newspaper many years ago when they had a comic section.
Re: Foreign editions of UK comics/strips
Disney were syndicated everywhere I think... I have some Italian ones somewhere, and i'm sure i've seen Arabic versions.Magnet wrote:The only foriegn comic I have is a Disney one from Spain or somewhere.
Talking of Arabia, I recall reading the newspaper James Bond and Jeff Hawke strips in the Khaleej Times in Dubai, United Arab Emirates in the 1980s. These were English language though.
Re: Foreign editions of UK comics/strips
Interesting they were the TV21 versions and not, say, serialised versions of the Gold Key editions. I've heard rumour Australia also reprinted some of the Supercar strips from TV Comic, possibly in a TV related magazine, but I've never had that confirmed...George L wrote:Some of Star Trek strips form TV21 were reprinted in the weekend edition of 'The Australian" newspaper many years ago when they had a comic section.

Shaqui - Sorry I can not help you regarding Supercar but the Star Trek strips that I recall were by Mike Noble.
