Reprint changes (page altering):
Il segno di Zorry Kid: Highly edited (tried to fit into small format).
FRA: Highly edited: frames repositioned (less frames per page, i.e. larger page number), some frames enlarged, some made smaller. Page numbering of the each issue attached at the end of each last frame. [Confirmed by issue #6; page numering starts with 3.]
Note on FRA: Appeared as a continious story (5 chapters?).
YSL1: Each opening frame of new chapter (see the original appearing) redrawn from narow to wide and logo removed or repositioned. Starting from #225 almost every single page's got a title.
YSL2: Looks like untouched.
