According to some so-called experts, many black editions are reprints, but strangely enough this does not match the number of titles on the back cover.
With every reprint of jommeke, the titles have been adapted with the latest albums. However, this is not the case with certain black prints.

Should we then assume that those black prints are fascimile publications. In my opinion, they are just first editions that were printed in another printer. Happened regularly at Jommekes, that they were printed in different printing houses due to large print runs (even in Italy).

Coming problem with secret assignment, someone has from all first editions every reprinted for some reason. Can someone then put the FIRST edition in the catalog ???? Now the only first edition is the German version

CW-number 23675 is the first edition of Geheime command, this is included from the beginning of the catalog.

But specific to this album =

3 reprints from 1971 where the last album is kids boss (26).

Why were the numbers 27, 28 etc. not mentioned ??

So these would be fascimile releases !!

I don't know, but there must be collectors who probably know this.

Indeed someone good at killing the jommekes department. As quoted above with Secret Mission. It is also unbelievable that the same person creates additional publications because there is a 20 fr. Sticker on the album, a price sticker does not make another album !? Incredible

A price sticker does not create a new album / item in the catalog.
Please change the title of the albums concerned to: "Doublure van xxxxxxx".
For xxxxxxxx please enter the relevant cw number.

No idea which Jommeke comics are involved. But please note that on many original "Flemish" Jommekes albums the price was in bfr. Those weren't stickers.

True, but on some copies that price is "over-stickered" with a different price, for example from 15F to 20F. See for example 6541525 , album still looks like the first press.

But I think an over-stickered copy is definitely another copy!

It indicates a certain period of time in which that was done and so the album is very recognizable. I don't think any collector will remove those stickers.

That is different from an offer sticker, where the price is temporarily lowered, in my opinion. The sticker must have come from the printer or publisher, because then it is a correction because there was an error in the print (in that case the price).

The example is indeed its own item in the Catalog.

We place such an over-stickered cover as image 3 if there is space, and also put it under Specialties.

Yes, but is it a sticker or a print? I can't tell from the scan.

Back cover also mentions 15F. The font is also different from the printed prices on other Jommekes from that period. Hopefully there are experts from Jommeke who want to take a look at this, the importer has made several changes to the catalog that are probably unjustified.

The white circle is larger than the original version. Since there is no printing with white ink (white is the color of unprinted paper) this must be a sticker.

It is incidentally a duplicate of the second edition (brown), not the first (brown and black).

@Desjeng

You can find anything you're looking for through the search function.
But all Jommeke comics can be found here .

All Piet Pienter and Bert Bibber can be found here .

Usually the comic books state the year of copyright, but that says nothing about the actual year of release.
Take a good look at the front, back and any details that are stated with an item.

At the bottom "where" is no pressure? On the book or with the item in the catalog?
(Almost) every item in the comic catalog has a year.

I'm a bit busy with the jommekes and many publications include

Albums with black print are later editions. Only from album 81 did the publishing house start publishing with black ink.

almost always modified by whip atom. And if you go to his facts you will see 68 improvements are probably all Jommekes!

Album 81 is from 1977 but, for example, 776063 is from 1973 in black print, so my question is:

May the remark black print be reprints be removed everywhere ??

Do not delete too quickly.

Every album by Jommeke with a number under 81, with only black print, is not the first print. So is indeed a reprint.

Which is not to say that every album under 81, with not only black pages, is a first edition.

Because that is of course only one of the conditions. You also have to take into account what is on the back, how the number is displayed (white circle or not), how Jommeke is on the title page (with Flip or without, leaning with one or two elbows, ... ), how and where the printer's imprint is located, not to mention which color the printed pages should have (brown, brown-black, ...).

So the statement is certainly not wrong, maybe not completely complete, but not wrong.

Album 81 is from 1977 but, for example, 776063 is from 1973 in black print

Nr 43 is under nr 81 and black print, so not a first edition. So is a reprint.

It is nowhere stated that there are no black prints, lower than number 81. It is only stated that it is not a first edition.

So this album confirms that rule.

It says:

Only from album 81 did the publisher start publishing with black ink.

This does imply that no black printed albums (first edition or reprint) were published before 1977.

The correct rule of thumb should (I think) be:

Only from album 81 (1977) did the publishing house start publishing all albums in black ink.

By the way, this seems to me to be information that looks better on a background page than with Details. There are also only 17 albums with this text.

No. From then on, the first prints will have black ink. It is not about the reprints but about the recognition of the first editions.

I do not comment on that. I haven't looked at all of them, and probably no one.

This is all nicely off the mark too.

With the albums where this is mentioned, it is to make clear what a first edition is, not to make a statement about what the reprints should look like.

Since there is brown, brown / black, orange spot color and alternating black / orange spot color, everything is possible. But NOT at the first edition, that is known and clear. And that is also the only thing that is pointed out (perhaps not quite clearly).
