If you like Marvel comics and you've never read Marvel Legends, give it a go. Apart from being great value (basically three comics in one) and featuring good contemporary Marvel stories, it's the closest thing in content to the long-gone Fantastic comic that many of us enjoyed back in the sixties. Both comics feature Iron Man and Thor (and the occasional superhero pin-up) but where Fantastic had 40 pages and black and white interiors, Marvel Legends has 76 pages and is all in full colour.
Marvel Legends No.16, out tomorrow from WH Smith and selected newsagents.
I read that Thor story as part of a downloaded graphic novel about 18 months ago. Marvel UK comics in the '70s didn't have special Christmas issues but they always had a festive-looking back cover with various Marvel characters in Santa hats building a snowman or suchlike. I especially remember the one from Christmas 1976 which had Captain Britain surrounded by other Marvel characters. Of course that was when the CB weekly was still new but by the following Christmas Captain Britain had come and gone.
ReplyDeleteYes, the first Mighty World of Marvel in 1972 had a Christmas issue too, but they often didn't bother.
