The US published copy I had gave me no clue as to the where the original first editions were published. I see it is under AK in the database instead of AK Comics as the cover and the indicia states. It was the fact that it was a second printing that made me look on comics.org and find something about the original printings. I see now that I found on the CPG database that the Middle East first publications were done in Arabic? and English editions. The reprints in the USA have different covers.
Is there a way to get the correct publisher name, and also the USA published editions to be found under a USA search?

post a pic of the indicia, and CPG can decide how to list the English versions. GCD notes "Egyptian publisher who also publishes in US and Great Britain", but they still have the English ones as "Published in English (Egypt)" . AK comics site is useless for info on these tho.
