Éditions Corgi

Les romans de Bob Morane ont été traduits en anglais dans les années 60 par trois maisons d'éditions différentes. Pour débuter, je vous présente ici les Éditions Corgi qui ont publié 6 romans. Il s'agit d'une maison d'édition britannique.

Pour l'instant, je ne possède que cinq des six volumes qui ont été publiés. Si vous possédez celui qui me manque, je serais intéressé à me le procurer via un échange ou un achat. Il est à noter que ces romans sont excessivement difficiles à trouver de nos jours.
