ARGENTINA (TOP TOYS)

17 comics were produced in Argentina for Masters of the Universe. While these comics don't differ considerably from their American release counterparts, they are in spanish and tend to have a characteristic back cover with He-Man artwork. Oddly, they say "Printed in Taiwan", yet were printed in Argentina. Most of the comics have the month and date printed, so its common to find the same title with different months and sometimes different years stamped.

Three titles were exclusively printed during the final "Reedition" time frame and as such as rarer. Those include the titles "Ciudad Esclava", "El Obelisco" and "El Terror de Triklops". Additionally, four mini-comic titles have both a white bottom border, and a non border variant. Those would be "La Espada de Doble Filo", "El Templo de la Oscuridad!", "Choque de Armas" and "La Mascara del Poder".

A total of 19 comics were produced in Brazil for Masters of the Universe, all in Portuguese. Estrela comics are the most unique of all the mini-comics produced in that not only where the comics "re-drawn", they also produced comic titles that were only released in Brazil. They are perhaps the rarest of all the mini-comics produced.

INDIA (LEO)

Leo INDIA Comics
Leo comics are similar to American Releases. They are written in English, have the same artwork, and most share the same cross-sell art back cover. Where they differ is in the newsprint-like paper, and most of them have both a "price" on the cover as well as a reference code in the back cover. I've identified a total of 42 different titles, not counting variants (some titles have variant cover art. Others have versions that both have and don't have pricing on the cover, etc... )

Special thanks to the many people that contributed pictures of their comic collection as I put this leo comic list together, including: Ken Kacal, Pho Do, Moturoby, and Sid Ghosh.

CANADA

There were many blisters specifically released for the Canadian Market. The mini-comics for this market were generally double sided, with French on one side, and English on the other. Whats very interesting is that all these comics were printed either in Malaysia, Taiwan, Hong Kong, Mexico or USA. I'm only aware of 1 comic that was printed in Canada.
