MARVEL UK ADRIAN WYMANN (2009) |
| Selected material
from Marvel's new Silver Age world of superheroes was
reprinted in Great Britain by several publishers in the
standard black & white UK comic book format
soon after its original appearance in the US, but it
wasn't until the formation of its own publishing channel,
Marvel UK, that the House of Ideas systematically
targeted the British comic book reader. Although clearly
set up with the intention of reprinting original US
material for the British market, it did produce some
original material by British creators at a later stage. The following three part essay charts the developments and analyses the characteristics of Marvel's UK imprint from its start-up in 1972 up to the end of the decade. |
