Found a bunch of books like this on ebay, just wondering if anyone knows anything about them ie if they're legit or just newer reprints. https://www.ebay.com/itm/Superman-380-1969-The-Confessions-of-Superman-RARE-ARABIC-VARIANT-/154580497683?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&_trksid=p2349624.m46890.l4i9286&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0

pretty sure these are recent-ish reprints. And that's Action Comics #380, not Superman 380. Don't know if that seller reads Arabic, but you could ask him, and see if he can see any dates in the indicia.

a google search turned up this tumblr site/post (appears to be by someone who is Arabic), who says these are 90s reprints too: https://oumcartoon.tumblr.com/post/74150090165/these-batman-and-superman-comics-look-like-theyre

more googling may turn up more info, but up to you now.

Foreign comic collectors have a tendency to refer to dates on the American printings when they are commenting on foreign language reprinted comics that were published much later.

It's one of the reasons I don't post in forums dedicated to foreign comics.
