Some Marvel Comics goodness....

[patgund]

These are all scans of covers and some internal pages from three Marvel comics I picked up last summer in the Middle East.

Enjoy! The scans are a bit big, so be warned.......



Here's the Cover for Fantastic Four #2

I wonder if they ever mention the fact that Ben Grimm is Jewish.....



This looks like Fun



Picture of Manhattan with Arabic caption. I'm sure this image will be flagged by DHS.....



Cover of the X-Men



Yep, Nightcrawler is still a swashbuckler



Phoenix explains (I think) the origin of the clawed chick that kicked Wolvie's butt.



Back page for the X-Men issue



Here's the Cover for Spiderman #3



Yep, that's Spidey facing the same chickypoo from X-Men



And yes, Captain America and SHIELD are around. And no, they aren't bad guys either



I will admit surprise to seeing Dr. Strange though



Back cover for X-Men had this ad for Archie comics.

My brain hurts.....

Arabic.... Archie? *brainfreeze*

You really should cross post this to scans_daily you know. :)

Agreed. Not enough innuendo for that crowd, but they might find it interesting anyway.

Archie in a muslim country??

What, you want to start a jihad or something?!?? ^o^

As a student of Arabic, I think I can translate what Spidey is saying to the chick with the claws:

"Put on a Burkah, your infidel whore!"

Ha ha, I love how the titles are just phonetic representations of the English, not translations (for Fantastic Four and X-Men anyway). Although as I recall, that tends to be the Arabic language standard, i.e. phonetic representation rather than translation. Neat!
