British Update: Kimota! – Marvelman, Young Marvelman and Marvelman Family
*Boys’ Adventure & War Comics: Following the demise of the original Captain Marvel & Family in the 1950s, UK Publisher Len Miller, who had been lucratively reprinting the adventures of the hero now known as Shazam!, decided to produce his own look-alike version, with the aid of Mick Anglo studios. Marvelman was born – and in his turn begat Young Marvelman and Marvelman Family, other all-new spin-offs ‘homaging’ the Marvel Family. 14 of these 1950s gentle fantasies, a far cry from the gritty 80s reinterpretation by Alan Moore and company, are now back in our boxes, in grades between FA and VG.
