1975-76: THE AVENGERS AND THE SAVAGE SWORD OF CONAN

With just days to go until THE AVENGERS assemble in cinemas, now seems a good time to wind back to 1975 and Marvel UK's THE AVENGERS AND SAVAGE SWORD OF CONAN weekly.

The long-winded name was the result of the hasty cancellation of Conan's own weekly after a mere 18 weeks.  Surprisingly, the merger stuck for the remainder of the title's run, prominently featuring the subsumed title's name and star on covers, before transferring both strips to THE MIGHTY WORLD OF MARVEL.  Compare that with the demise of FORCES IN COMBAT, expunged from FUTURE TENSE with undue haste.

THE AVENGERS had already been through its martial arts obsession phase, which we'll get to eventually.

Details of SAVAGE SWORD OF CONAN Volume 1 can be found here.
