The French lady who is our French teacher, is also starting to learn Spanish.  It's odd to hear her halting efforts when her English is SO good. Mind you, I've been learning French for a while and I often come to a  stuttering halt as my lack of vocabulary shows its ugly face.:-[ 
I think I'm right in saying that the Spanish (i.e. from Spain) comics we have are only a small part of what was published up to about mid '60's.  The search goes on.
I read in the paper that Spanish is now the 1st language of around 40% of the population of the U.S.A.

Another 10 issues of the Spanish superhero comic, El Duende, and rather nice they are too.
More of Nelson Lee Library and there are some good, exciting covers on some of the recent uploads.  More to follow with some issues seeming to have short detective stories at the back, featuring Gordon Fox.  Obviously the great Nelson Lee didn't mind sharing his journal with other 'tecs.

Continuing the effort to balance all those Magnet issues with Billy Bunter, some more Nelson Lee Library classic school and detective weeklies. 
Check out the great schoolmaster detective; his assistant, Nipper; the useless Handworth and the rest of the cast in their school stories, adventure stories, yellow menace stories and all the rest here:-

Thanks to Steve Holland at http://bearalley.blogspot.co.uk/, we now have a second Lesley Shane newspaper strip.  Early to mid '50's?  Art by Oliver Passingham.  Scans were from poor copies but still highly enjoyable stories.

Another small pile of Nelson Lee Library in Pulp Fiction.  I'm afraid we are now at a place where there are issues missing in the run.

Some of you want obscure.  Well, here's obscure:-
https://comicbookplus.com/?dlid=33875
This is a French landscape title from the late'40's, I believe, and, there is a costumed mystery figure, secret passages and the usual handsome hero to boot.

Thanks Paw. Can you check the unapproved files. There is some nonUS stuff that you need to check if it is OK.

Another 10 issues of Nelson Lee Library and another Spanish version of Atomo Kid, in the Spanish section, of course.
And, after fighting with the scanner and a tatty old comic, (there should be another grade for comics alongside G; VG; P; FN etc.   FTB - falling to bits) I've managed to get a coherent copy of an old French title up on site.  This dates from 1945 and I had always thought that during and just after WW2, comics like this were only published in the south of the country, Nice for example - the part not under direct Nazi rule. Don't know how I came to that conclusion but if anyone can shed any light on this, I'm sure we would all like to have it.

Yes, just realised there is something wonky with the Fulguros upload. Should be fixed today.  "Bear with", as they say.

3 issues of Coloured Slick fun.  Some with adventures of Darrel King; TNT Tom; Phantom Raider.  Very badly trimmed comics and really cheap printing but saved by the excellent examples of humour strips by Harry Banger.  Apologies now for one of the strips, "Coal Black Jones", which is about as un-p.c. as it gets, but was quite common at the time.

I had to have a really big dig for more Spanish material as many of the Mediafire links had disappeared.  But it was worth it as I found a small treasure trove of umpteen issues of El Espiritu de la Selva, a masked hero in The Phantom tradition with a history going back centuries.  First 15 issues now available and a pile more to come.  Also, I'm working on a run of El Poder Invisible (The Invisible Power), featuring an invisible criminal, reminiscent of one of those movie serials.
And also now available, a compilation of a couple of issues of a Spanish MMM, Galator.  There is another compilation, this time of El Capitan Sol and when I can figure out why it's not loading properly, I'll upload it.
Don't know what happened there but, it's now available.

O.K. Superman and anyone else who might be interested, there is another Coloured Slick Fun on site.  Sorry about the state of it but the original was so badly printed.
