From the backyard of bygone days comes another five issues of
The SUPER-HEROES, MARVEL U.K.'s pulse-pounding periodical
from the sizzlin' '70s. I loved this weekly mag, and the ones featured in
this series are the actual copies I purchased back in the day, not later re-
placements. Hard to believe that I've now had these comics for over 40
years and that this title (along with its companion magazine SAVAGE
SWORD OF CONAN) was the first new Marvel weekly to be re-
leased after I'd left school and was part of the working world.
That means comics like MWOM, SMCW, The AVENGERS,
DRACULA LIVES, POTA, SHIVER & SHAKE, WHOOPEE,
BUZZ, and WARLORD were the last new weekly mags I bought as a
schoolkid. I wasn't aware of this subtle distinction at the time 'though,
as life seemed like one single strand of an unravelling ball of string, not
the separate, unconnected, compartmentalized events they seem in
retrospect long after the fact. (Wow! Deep or what?)
As always, cavortin' Criv-ites, your comments are most welcome.
