The possible exception here is ". . . on some rare occasions a friend of mine who lent it to me when I lost it or did not arrive in time to buy it from newsstands." Comics are rarely reissued. If you're an avid collector it is easy to miss an edition if you have to go o/seas, or you're hospitalised for a few weeks etc.
I suggest those who want to maintain a guilty until proven innocent doctrine lighten up on this occasion; especially those from regimes where the Magna Carta is much revered

It depends what's said. If it raises red flags, then I'll ask about it. And in this case, 23,000 scanned comics really raised red flags. I don't see why to get annoyed with my asking. I don't do it in a rude way. But if the answer is yes, it's pirated, then that's it, game over man.
