1984: SPIDER-MAN SUMMER SPECIAL (Marvel UK)


The 1984 SPIDER-MAN SUMMER SPECIAL from MARVEL UK.

The full-colour, album-format one-shot reprinted 'Heroes and Villains', the extra-length adventure (by Stern, Hannigan and Mooney) from SPIDER-MAN ANNUAL 17, published in the States the previous summer.  

The (slightly odd choice) back-up strip was a rare UK outing for a Deathlok reprint from the 4th issue of MARVEL FANFARE. The character had appeared in STAR WARS WEEKLY circa 1980 and appeared next (in an aborted reprint of the 1990 limited series) in the short-lived HAVOC weekly.
