Item: Biblioteca Marvel: Capitán América No. 0
Year: 2000
Company: Forum
Comments: Volume 0 of the Forum series from Spain. Huh? Whah? A ZERO issue?? Yes, it seems that even though Volume 1 and 2 covered the TALES OF SUSPENSE run, they only covered the modern day tales and not the WWII adventures in the earliest issues. So those issues are in this volume along with a the original origin story from CAPTAIN AMERICA COMICS #1 (March 1941).
Item: Biblioteca Marvel: Capitán América No. 15
Year: 2000
Company: Forum
Comments: Volume 15 of the Forum series from Spain. Where are Volumes 4-14? Quite simply, I don't own them yet. But Volume 15 covers the Return of the King, Jack Kirby, with his classic Mad Bomb cover above. To be fair, most of this volume features the storyline BEFORE Jack returned in 1975 with the Frank Robbins/post NOMAD issues with the Falcon and the Red Skull (CAPTAIN AMERICA & THE FALCON #186-192) before the one Kirby issue with #193.
Item: Biblioteca Marvel: Capitán América No. 1
Year: 1999
Company: Forum
Comments: In 1999, Forum in Spain began publishing a series of black and white reprints of the Captain America stories beginning with the TALES OF SUSPENSE 1960s run. These are more of a digest size in dimensions but covers about the same stories as a Marvel Masterworks but without the color much like an Essential volume only on much nicer paper. These are really nice books, all in Spanish, of course. There is also a price on the back for the currency of Argentina, another Spanish-speaking market.
Look for more of these books in future posts.
