| Here's one of my childhood favorites that I still own. The Italian version of Thor #2 from 1971. I was 11 years old when my parents bought this for me.  | |

| I was able to return to Italy in 1991 for work. I found that I could ask for a tour of the Italian Play Press compound where their comics were printed. Pretty damn cool to see all that and I was able to purchase copies of the newest Thor series #1 - #33. All NM and never circulated. Here is #1.  | |

| Yes, I can read/speak Italian fluently. My mother was 100% Italian and I lived in Italy during my formative years of school (grades 6-12). I have returned there many times to work. My wife and I went there on our honeymoon. My Italian heritage is a very big part of who I am and that's why I collect Italian comics and toys.  | |

| You must like Olive Garden. Just kidding.
Man, the badassness of those books, especially the Thors, cannot be fully comprehended. | |

| Thought I'd post a few more ITL books since I have been digging through my boxes lately. Here's a Captain America from 1976.  | |

| Those are cool! I especially like the Capitan America. Are they the same as US books as far as content? Or do they adjust them for the market they're in? | |

| @jaxx - it could be something to do with photobucket changeing the way that it operates and wanting to charge money to host your pictures so a lot of forums have lost photos because of that, it also could be something to do with the host of this forum.
TBH I don’t know why they have gone. | |

| No worries. It's not your forum host or photobucket. They were hosted on a personal server for another forum.
Some day I'll get motivated to retake some pics. | |
