*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. We have five issues new in of these gentle* fantasies this week, 1 Marvelman & 4 Young Marvelman. (*although we note that in YM #357, YM busts an opium den!). Details as follows:
