*Marvel: From the Bute Collection this week, three excellent consecutive issues of Marvel’s first family. #37 is a cosmic outer space story featuring the Skrulls; #38 sees our heroes tussling with the Frightful Four, losing their powers in the process; and in #39, with an iconic cover, powerless, they face up to Dr Doom with the aid of Daredevil. All three issues have the ‘MMMS Wants You’ box, an ad for the Merry Marvel Marching Society. And, on a personal note, #38 was the first regular Marvel comic I read which spurred me on to investigate the Marvel Age of Comics, despite being a dyed-in-the-wool DC fan.
