Historic Battles, by Belgian company Cox International and distributed in Canada. All 306 stickers are present, which is rare because producers usually restrict a few pieces in order to sell more packets to collectors trying desperately to complete their album. Covers 17 different battles, each spanning 2 pages. Produced in 5 different languages. Some of the historical inaccuracies and omissions are interesting. For instance, for the 1571 Battle of Lepanto, it says: In order to check the Turkish invasion of Cyprus, Venice called upon the Pope and Spain for help. After setting up the Holy Alliance, the three Powers decided to build a joint Christian fleet. They sailed for Corfu, and on the morning of the 7th October 1571 they saw the Turkish fleet, which in the meantime, had concentrated at Lepanto in the Gulf of Corinth. It was a fierce, desperate fight between the two armies, a fight to the end, which was illuminated by a veritable inferno of flames. By four o’clock in the afternoon the Turks had been wiped out.

Price: $1000.00
Note: An auca is a graphic format popular in Spain and especially in the region of Catalonia around Barcelona. The genre dates at least to the 17th century but was banned during the 18th century before experiencing a renewal during the 19th and later the 20th centuries as a uniquely Catalonian form of expression. It takes the form of a cartoon or a comic strip, typically with 48 blocks of image and text, although some may have less. An auca is generally produced as a single sheet, but occasionally a booklet form is used. The captions tend to have some sort of consistent rhyme to assist with the flow and storytelling. Many times the term “auca” appears in the title, but another term, “aleluya,” is used, apparently interchangeably. Some sources indicate that the aleluya originated in Castile and originally included religious elements that were shed over time. Auca was a very popular form of anti-Nationalist propaganda during the Civil War.
