American Update: A Touch of Marvel Treasuries: Doctor Strange and Star Wars
*Marvel: The tabloid-sized Treasury Editions published by Marvel from 1974 to the 1980s may not have caught on as a permanent format, but they certainly have their fans, particularly among a certain generation in the UK whose earliest exposure to the iconic Marvel characters was via these huge compendiums of classic adventures! We have added in this week not one but two copies of Marvel Treasury Edition #6 featuring Doctor Strange, an all-new Frank Brunner cover fronting classic adventures by Ditko, Everett, Severin, Adkins and Brunner himself, all benefiting hugely from the enlarged size for a truly lovely tome. In addition to the ‘baseline’ Marvel Treasury Series, Marvel launched a few short-run series in the same format, one of which was Marvel Special Edition (not to be confused with the regular-sized Special Marvel Edition), reprinting the adaptation of the very first Star Wars film (or the fourth, depending on how seriously you take all that). Marvel Treasury Edition #6 is VG/FN at £15 and/or FN+ p £20, and Marvel Special Edition #1 GD p £10.
