*Vintage Magazine-Sized Comics: Among the most obscure mainstream Marvels are their magazine line, which ran, with a couple of exceptions each way, from the mid-1970s to the mid-1980s, and are generally harder to find than their smaller four-colour brethren. We’re delighted to have topped up several significant titles this time. Deadly Hands of Kung Fu is recharged from #3, with several later issues in desirable FN/VF or VF grades; the non-UK-distributed Doc Savage #1, plus a smattering of later issues; Epic Illustrated, Marvel’s attempt at a Heavy-Metal style adult magazine, from its second issue upwards; Howard the Duck’s black & white series; Tomb of Dracula magazine # 1; the oddball film-spoof mag Monsters to Laugh With/Monsters Unlimited, from 1964 and 1965 and small updates to Monsters Unleashed and Rampaging Hulk. Two ‘showcase’ titles also feature significant items – Marvel Preview #2 and #3, with early appearances by the Punisher and Blade, respectively and Marvel Comics Super Special, with new issues featuring James Bond, Conan the Barbarian, and Kiss. The Kiss issue (#5) is a very attractive VF, with the pull-out poster *not* pulled out, and is offered at £55. Not quite magazines, but in this section because of their mag-sized dimensions, are the softcover (and occasional hardcover) Marvel Graphic Novel series. Approximately 15 issues new to our listings, including Conan the Reaver, Elektra Lives Again (1st printing), Sensational She-Hulk, Wolverine & Nick Fury – the Scorpio Connection, the debut of the New Mutants, and many more.
