PART TWO OF MARVEL'S THE SUPER-HEROES COVER & IMAGE GALLERY...

Images copyright MARVEL COMICS

It's difficult for me to fully accept that 40 years have gone by

since I bought the comics from which the images you see before

you are taken.  1975?  Surely it was only a few years ago at the very

most?  Nope, it's actually been 40 years, and as I type these words,

I sense the shadow of a silent spectre falling upon my shoulder and

I resist the sudden compulsion to turn around and look, and

thereby seal my fate sooner than is scheduled.

But that's enough of the doom and gloom.  For the moment,

let's celebrate this worthy U.K. MARVEL weekly from the past,

and live again those halcyon days when everything seemed right

with the world.  It may have been only an illusion cultivated by our

ignorance of what lay before us, but illusions are sometimes the

best and dearest companions of our youth.  Now - enjoy!

       

Big JOHN BUSCEMA shows how to compose a cover - a classic!

This was the very first X-Men story I ever read - in the pages of
Odhams' FANTASTIC #7 back in 1967.  Like this printing, it was
split into two parts and continued in the next week's issue
