*Vintage UK/Australian Reprints of US Material: Among the multitude of 1950s UK publishers who made a career of repackaging US material during those non-distributed days, one of the most prominent was Len Miller, whose enterprise produced myriad faux-US format titles, reprinting American strips and sometimes (most famously with Marvelman) creating entirely new stories for the comics-starved UK market. His big four titles, however, were the horror/sci-fi anthologies Mystic, Spellbound, Voodoo and Zombie, with a heady and seemingly random selection of Pre-Code horror, Marvel ‘Big Panty Monster’ tales, crime stories, and surprisingly frequently, early reprints from Marvel Comics, before Mr. Miller’s demise in the early 1960s left the Marvel licence to be taken up by Alan Class. We have a large number of Mystic and Spellbound newly stocked, ranging from #13 to #66 of Mystic and Spellbound from #7 to #64, plus a smaller selection of Voodoo and Zombie. Several of these feature early Marvel super-hero stories including Dr. Strange, the Human Torch, the Fantastic Four, Iron Man, Thor and Ant-Man, and there are occasional other surprises: the 1950s revivals of Captain America, the original Human Torch and the Sub-Mariner from Young Men #24, and an entire issue of Quality’s Blackhawk (in which our team of international aviators take on the Black Widow!) Another talking point is the reprinting of ‘Stretching Things’, the first published story by a young promising talent named Steve Ditko. Illustrated are Mystic #45 FN £25 and #48 FN £25; Spellbound #43 GD £15 and #45 FN £25; Voodoo #9 FN £15 and Zombie #9 £20; full range of issues available, with grades and prices, is shown in our website catalogue. .
