1993: THE EXPLOITS OF SPIDER-MAN CELEBRATES MARVEL UK's 21st BIRTHDAY

Here's another anniversary celebration: MARVEL UK's 21st birthday back in November 1993.

This EXPLOITS OF SPIDER-MAN cover (issue 15, cover-dated 17 November 1993) was by Richard Elson.  It's a slight cheat as far as the reader was concerned as the GENESIS 92 heroes (including the inevitable Death's Head II cameo) don't appear in the issue itself (although Motormouth and Killpower had been mainstays, rerunning - in uncut form - the strips from OVERKILL).

Unfortunately, my copy has long since lost the free cover-mounted badge.

The second image appeared on the inside back cover and represents the sum total of the celebrations.  The featured covers seem pretty random, which MAY have been the point.  Exploits' editor was Tim Quinn which probably explains the inclusion of CHANNEL 33 1/3.
