If you any of you guys remember, I've mentioned something about an Egyptian publishing company called The Arabic Centre For Publishing And Distribution based in Alexandria, releasing several (non-canon) Rambo books around the early 90's that detailed Rambo's adventures outside of the movie franchise. They were basically digest sized books.
I've only bought 3 books of the Egyptian published series, as you can see the quality of the covers are pretty medicore and the stories themselves aren't anything special. Rambo himself seemed a bit out of character in some of the books, the book on the left had Rambo going through a Tarzan faze in the latter chapters. The books also included some illustrations but I figured the covers are enough to give you guys the idea of how the art looked.
Overall, these books might only interest Rambo fans (especially those with knowledge of Arabic language) for the nostalgia of it.
