Good evening,

How can I find the difference or differences between the albums De Monsters from 1978 and The Monsters from 1979 ? I am very curious, because I can not discover any difference. ;-)

Greetings Vincent

The 1978 version has two fewer pages.

Just kidding, because that information is of course not correct ;-)

If it is not listed under Details, you should assume that the year is mentioned somewhere in the album itself.

When comparing the scans, it is striking that the black title on the front is differently aligned. With the "first edition" from 1979 it is a little further to the left compared to the red series title and the blue number 22.

(Which means in any case that the only seller with his own photo to the wrong edition.)

Exactly. I think the differences are only in the different positioning of title and serial number.

Years in Ealing & amp; Ko? (;-)

@ Boekenmagazijn : Just looked in the album and indeed, there is a year in the album I have here, namely D/1978/0044/72 . Can I qualify my copy as the 1978 variant?

That "Legal Deposit" is probably the same in all editions.

(Speaking from general experience, because I don't really know anything about Ealing and Ko.)

@ Book Warehouse : Yeah, that's not really getting anywhere. ;-)

@ Arco : But if title and serial number deposition is the only difference , how then can it be established that these two editions really are from two different years? Couldn't it just be a different edition within the same year? I wonder who decided this then.

Have them both set to 1979, because that is the first edition from that year, and it has been known for some time that the year is not there.

@ Arco : Yes. Then you get such a 1979 (a) and 1979 (b) story, right? That seems to me the best. Thanks for thinking along and adjusting. :-)

Old topic, but search first, right?

Okay the following (unfortunately cannot attach images) will describe it:

https://www.lastdodo.nl/catalogus/strips/series-helden/paling-en-ko/43196-jacht-op-de-zwarte-bende

Other back cover with price AND ISBN (10) (checked ISBN 10: 9062325211 / ISBN 13: 9789062325214)

The Netherlands Fl. 3.95 - Belgium 65 F.
906232521 1
Position above the broom

Quality is ahem 'shitty' (damp spots).
Other information identical
Is this a new edition?

I don't care about a value, I think is something for the catalog?
