I posted a picture of my Cap collection about a month ago on another thread, and have since done a little shopping on ebay to pick up a few figures that I've missed over the years.
Here is the original picture that I posted......
Over the last month I picked up...
2003 Marvel Select WWII Cap figure
1997 Toy Biz 10" figure
1997 Applause 10" Vinyl figure
Now the 2003 WWII figure rocks! The detail is amazing and I just love that one!
As for the other two 10" figures I got, nah I don't really care for them at all.
I can't believe Toy Biz made one of those figures, they have actually come a long way in a short time.
They made crappy figures like that in 1997, then in 2002 they started releasing the Marvel Legends line which is the best toy line to date.
Anyways, here is the new updated pictures of my Cap shelf.

Here I go dating myself again! Does anyone remember the Marvel animated series produced by Gantray-Lawrence from the mid 60's? I would love to see them produced on DVD. A number of years back, SOME were released on video but not all.

I know what you are talking about, but I haven't seen a whole lot of it. Just a bit here and there. You are talking about the one with the limited animation, right?
I think from that period, the Fantastic Four cartoon was probably the best. I got the opportunity to see several episodes of that series on the Boomerang network.

I am indeed! Fantatic Four was the next level up and then I think Spider Man followed by Ralph Bakshi of Fritz the Cat fame. I hope against hope that it might show up on Boomerang. I have the Viewmaster stereo slides of the Captain America Sleepers Awake story. I told you I'm dating myself

Yeah I caught those episodes on Boomerang years ago and recorded them. I also have a few VHS tapes of the old classic 60's Marvel series. So what I did was I transferred everything from video to DVD. I think I have them all (39 episodes).
If anyone was interested, I'd be willing to make a copy of my DVD with all the 60's Captain America cartoons for $4, shipping included in the U.S.
The DVD is almost 4 hours long total.
Let me know if you guys are interested.

Nice pics, PS.
Similar to what I did with the Cap figures in the brown bookcase.
(Okay, ignore the Dr. Evil figure and all the dust
It is messy, but here are more Cap collectables....

Titans as in Teen Titans.
For the UK book, I don't think they were a team, just a name to showcase the Marvel Heroes. They had another title called "The Super-Heroes".
Those are all comic books. They experimented with turning the comic sideways into a landscape format for a number of issues.

More stuff...
A forgotten Captain America movie? Not really, this is just an episode of the 1960s animation repackaged as a Super 8 film in the 1970s....
From Brazil, more Tales of Suspense in Portuguese....
From Sweden, John Byrne Cap.....
From France, a recent trade. This cover was used for one of the regular floppy issues but not as a trade here. This is essential the trade for HOMELAND....
Recent pickups from Italy....
1970s Capitan America #6. If this looks familiar, it is because they reused the Avengers #4 art but added the blue background and got rid of the rest of the Avengers....
Another 1970s Italian book only they used that 1960s cover art for the Strange Tales issue from 1963 with the Torch fighting the Acrobat disguised as Cap. Note how they got rid of the Torch altogether. And the issue isn't even reprinted in this book, just the first Batroc story and Avengers and X-Men....
Cap had a good run in the early 1990s with the Mike Zeck 80s work but by the mid-1990s he was sharing a book with Thor. Here, they reuse the cover to Sentinel of Liberty #1 for the cover....

Wow atomic99-
You got some impressive vintage Cap items!
It's like a treasure chest of vintage Cap items, I wish I was there so I could take a closer look.
Thanks for posting, it's a real treat seeing your collection along with all the international Cap items, REALLY COOL!

From Spain, digest Cap in the Avengers from 1969...
More Cap digests from the early 1970s. The interiors are in black and white and usually hack up the original art into two panels a page. Really some bad paste up inside but the painted re-interpretations on the covers are kind of cool...

These books are a little confusing. They are in French but printed in Italy. Artima put these out and these are collections of two books put together (literally) and then rebound with a new cover (the old covers still inside). This was a frequent practice with some of the French-Canadian Hermitage Editions as well and a good way to repackage those old books that didn't sell. These collections are from 1979 but contain stories originally from the early 70s. Full color. Nice end paper of Steranko art printed in blue as well.

From Mexico, FANTASTICO #18 from 1956 featuring Captain America....
But wait a minute! That's the Fighting American, the Simon and Kirby Cap knock off!! Well, it seems, even back in the mid-1950s, they weren't fooling anyone and, I guess, perhaps the legal stuff was a little looser south of the border so they just used the Captain America name.
On the cover, they refer to the sidekick as Bucky but, in the stories, he is called Speedboy. Fighting American is called Captain America throughout.

I posted another volume of this collection above (the Mad Bomb #193 cover) but here are some more volumes in the collection. I typed above that they were from Argentina but they were printed in Spain for both the Argentinian and Spanish markets. I really like these books. They are small digest black and white version of the Essentials only not as many pages. They came out about 9-10 years ago.

Thanks, guys. Yes, I own all these. Many I get on EBay. Others from my travels. Last year's trip to Switzerland netted me a few German books and a one-day trip to Milano, Italy, allowed me to load up on many of the Italian books.
Why a fascination with foreign editions? Partly, while traveling over the years, I'd see something familiar like a Marvel or DC character but presented in a different way and be drawn to that something familiar. The second reason is I've pretty much got every Cap book from the 1960s to today. So, other than the new books and the Golden Age stuff (which is very pricey), what else can I buy?
And, I'm sure, like you guys, at some point during your comic buying and reading that you realized that Cap was the comic for you and you switched to becoming a collector. For some, CGS books are their thing. For me, it has turned into a fascination with Cap in other countries. I never thought I'd see Cap comics from France, Turkey, and other nations but there they are.
Part of it is also uncovering and learning history. Like the FANTASTICO book, for instance. We all knew Fighting American was a Cap knock off but no one confused the two...except for this. Or the GURI book from Brazil that had me doing some research as to Brazil's status during WWII.
I'll also find out some other interesting tidbits like NOVA, another Marvel hero I love, had his original series cancelled in 1979 after 25 issues. But the French run lasted well into the #160s and beyond into the 1990s. They ran out of original Nova stories long ago so it just became a general Marvel hero book.
So far, the list of countries I've found that published Cap are....
America - Of course!
Canada - Both in English and a rather lengthy French-Canadian run.
Mexico - Tough to find the 60s & 70s stuff in good condition
Argentina
Brazil
Peru
Australia - Newton Comics had a brief run in the 70s
Sweden
The United Kingdom - pence issues of our comics from the 60s-80s, in the FANTASTIC series above or the Alan Class books of the 60s, his own weekly series and with Captain Britain or a backup in the weeklies above.
France
Spain - Those 70s digests have some great painted covers
Greece
Turkey
Germany - (although any swastikas have to be altered)
Italy - Some great looking books and some long runs from the early 70s to today
Today, Panini, Marvel's foreign language branch, is handling many of the foreign editions. I'm still not having much luck with finding any Cap in Asia and certainly not the middle east (understandable) but I do have some Superman from Israel and in Farsi. Not only is the Israeli books in Hebrew but, since I think they read from right to left, all the images are flopped. Interesting to see Superman with a backwards "S" on his chest.
I do have a Hungarian or Czech Spider-man comic but still no super heroes from Russia. Just a Mickey Mouse comic (Misha Mouse).

I've been reading Cap since #200 (August 1976). The collecting bug really kicked in during the 1990s.

Spanish language books from Mexico....
From 1967, LOS VENGADORES (The Avengers) #63 which features a TALES OF SUSPENSE cover.....
Captain America #100 cover gets used for 1970's EL CAPITAN AMERICA #15....
From 1971, CAPITAN AMERICA #29.....
This was an interesting find. This was part of several Spanish comics from the 1950s/early 60s (Marvel, DC, and others) bound into a collection. People are bounding comics now but occasionally the older comics would get bound years ago. The first issue in the book is the real gem; a Spanish version of Atlas' YOUNG MEN #25 under the name of AVENTURAS. The whole issue is reprinted but, as you can see with this cover, the bottom images are cropped out.
Capitan Americano story inside....

Thanks, Tim. Although pull the images of the Mad Lib and the Super 8 out of the folder. They are neither comics nor foreign.
