LOL I refuse to open up the international intercompany crossover can of worms! However, I always love to see the fantastic information you come up with in that area! Here's one I was excited to learn of. Conan İlkel Çağlarin Yenilmez Savaşçisi #57 (1983) was an original Marvel Conan story published in a Turkish Conan series that was mostly Turkish translations of American stories. However, this story was original and, to everyone's surprise, Superman shows up and meets Conan!

Plaristes Collector in Training Posts: 98 My Collection	Posted: May 19, 2018 5:00:52 pm Yeah, I really wish there was a trade that collected these foreign crossovers, translated into English. :-)
Plaristes Collector in Training Posts: 98 My Collection	Posted: May 20, 2018 4:23:11 pm Here's another obscure crossover, this time from Columbia, I believe: Cazador vol. 4 #22-24 (Sep-Nov 1996). In these three issues, the original Columbian character crosses paths with Captain America, Superman, the aliens from Mars Attacks, Iron Man, the aliens from War of the Worlds, Darkseid, Batman, Mr. Fantastic, the Thing, and there might be more I didn't recognize. It's not for the faint of heart, though, as there's a lot of graphic violence and nudity.

Plaristes Collector in Training Posts: 98 My Collection	Posted: May 21, 2018 11:22:41 am I wish, but as should come as no surprise, a lot of these foreign comics are hard to track down, and even when you do the prices can be discouraging. I do happen to have scans of those three issues, though. Here's one I wish I had a copy of, or even a scan: Manoi Comics #10 (at least, I think that's what this issue is called). Here's a description of the issue I got from a Facebook friend who collects foreign comics: राम रहीम (=Ram Rahim), Dracula story Part 5 "ड्रैकुला का प्रेताजाल" ( = "Drekula ka Pretaajal" (1987, Manoj Comics #10, Hindi) with Superman, Batman & Spider-Man This issue is where it all began figuratively speaking. Ram-Rahim are a pair of child detectives that were popular characters from Manoj Comics (publishing mainly in Hindi but some in English). The story arc where they take on an Indian version of Dracula was spread out over 7 issues across a year or more (Indian story arcs are often not published sequentially within a series). This issue was part 5 in their run in with the Dracula character. They story takes them to New York where they meet DC's Superman and Batman along with Marvel's Spider-Man seeking help. It is an example of a cross-cultural/cross-publisher meeting of characters - the 1st of its kind in India. This international meeting of such characters from DC, Marvel, and Manoj was a hit within India in 1987.

CrossoverKing Teacher Location: Johnstown, PA Posts: 263 My Collection	Posted: May 22, 2018 9:07:42 am There is something that I keep forgetting to mention on this site. I belong to a lot of great groups on Facebook, but two in particular will be of interest to those who frequent this thread. First, The Crossovers Forum and also Cartoon Multiverse: The Cartoon Crossover Encyclopedia. They're both great groups with some very knowledgeable folks! Any time you see a post by Jerry Hopfer...that is me! Last edited May 22, 2018 7:06:09 pm
Plaristes Collector in Training Posts: 98 My Collection	Posted: May 22, 2018 11:12:40 am I just joined both groups. :-) Here's another foreign crossover, Raj Comics #619: The description I got from my Facebook friend: Multi-Starrer Issue, "बांकेलाल और कलियुग" ( = "Bankelal aur Kaliyug") (2005, Raj Comics #619, Hindi) The multi-Starrer issue in Indian comics involves characters from different Indian series as a kind of team, similar to Marvel's Avengers or DC's Justice League. This particular issue shows Doga (in purple on left, an Indian character based on Marvel's Punisher) and Parmanu (lower right in yellow, based on DC's Atom) on the cover while the interior features cameos with DC's Superman & Marvel's Spider-Man.
