Some of those titles are actually covered in previous STARLOGGED posts so be sure to have a wander 'round the blog.<br /><br />I've updated the section and also added some other M-UK related notes for context. <br /><br />Amazing that the Bullpen themselves forgot they published MWOM... oopsie!SLOW ROBOThttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15891511135128944714noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6024401572816020459.post-23357045653015417262018-02-03T21:13:05.779+00:002018-02-03T21:13:05.779+00:00I meant four other Marvel UK titles DATED FEBRUARY...I meant four other Marvel UK titles DATED FEBRUARY 8TH 1978.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6024401572816020459.post-40393557375837631242018-02-03T13:45:17.604+00:002018-02-03T13:45:17.604+00:00Sorry to nitpick but I've spotted some mistake...Sorry to nitpick but I've spotted some mistakes. DRACULA LIVES ran from 1974 to 1976, not 1975. PLANET OF THE APES did indeed run from 1974 to 1976 but the merged PLANET OF THE APES & DRACULA LIVES continued till February 1977. THE SAVAGE SWORD OF CONAN MONTHLY ran from 1977 to 1985, not 1975 to 1986.<br /><br />And there were FOUR other Marvel UK titles, not three - you forgot THE MIGHTY WORLD OF MARVEL FEATURING THE INCREDIBLE HULK AND SGT. FURY No. 280.<br /><br />Once again, my apologies for nitpicking :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6024401572816020459.post-13235584486560756802018-02-03T10:56:38.513+00:002018-02-03T10:56:38.513+00:00Some very nice work there in your gallery.

I am a huge fan of the original Marvel Star Wars series and am from the USA so seeing the UK versions is a real treat , Those comics meant a lot to me as a kid and still do , I have even been creating homages to the US covers in my gallery under the username screamsinthevoid which may be viewed here...https://screamsinthevoid.deviantart.com/darkempire37https://www.blogger.com/profile/01529510693366367451noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6024401572816020459.post-74024849912774348052018-02-02T22:12:39.175+00:002018-02-02T22:12:39.175+00:00Great post.

I remember it well because that's the moment I decided to stop scoffing at this Star Wars thing and get the comic. But nobody else seems to be able to confirm it and of course, I can't prove it without the aid of a time machine and a VCR. I would love to see that commercial surface on YouTube one day.<br />I'm been planning my own Star Wars Weekly tribute at my blog Episode Nothing: Star Wars in the 1970s. It should go live on February 9.Darren Sladehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10032557997444382751noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6024401572816020459.post-162035066513632542018-02-01T16:34:34.817+00:002018-02-01T16:34:34.817+00:00Good to have you back!Good to have you back!Mark Westhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12103997496549941279noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6024401572816020459.post-25261283551950231732018-02-01T14:33:17.959+00:002018-02-01T14:33:17.959+00:00This is really an overview of issue one and not th...This is really an overview of issue one and not the whole run. SWW was certainly well placed to capitalise on the considerable increase in the number of SF strips Marvel created as the Star Age blossomed. Indeed, some may have even be commissioned with at least half a mind to creating additional inventory for SWW.

The majority of those back-ups might have been out of tune with Star Wars, but were very readable ... I adored them!KlownKrustyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02951875989078181671noreply@blogger.com
