*Vintage Magazine-Sized Comics: A complete run of Marvel Preview (rechristened Bizarre Adventures mid-run), which featured a bewildering variety of new concepts, different takes on established characters (many of which wouldn’t have been permitted by the Comics Code in Marvel’s regular line), and, let’s be honest, some stuff straight out of the inventory drawer which might not otherwise have seen print. The later popularity of some – at the time – minor characters introduced here makes the run a bewildering switchback of prices! Highlights include #2, with the first telling of the Punisher’s origin, and the first appearance of Dominic Fortune; the premier of Star-Lord in #4 (who then starred in issues #11, #14, #15 and #18), the very first Rocket Raccoon in issue #7 (in a back-up feature), plus Blade, Thor, Kull, Moon Knight, Howard the Duck, Black Widow, Son of Satan, sundry X-Men, Elektra (by Frank Miller), and such never-quite-stars (at least not yet!) as Paradox, Lady Daemon, Man-God and Hangman. A complete series – Marvel Preview # 1-24, and Bizarre Adventures # 25-34 – graces our shelves this update; almost all copies are in VF shape, including the three keys pictured here. #2 VF £50, #4 VF £75, #7 VF £110.
