From late 1992: Stan "The Man" Lee turns his monthly plug machine to selling the wares of MARVEL UK across the US Marvel line.
Marvel's output was growing so fast (and, some may argue, indiscriminately) during this period that securing such a lengthy bit of hard sell in BULLPEN BULLETINS must have been quite an achievement. However, it's unlikely that Stan, firmly ensconced on the West Coast trying to convince someone (anyone!) to produce movies and TV shows based on the Marvel pantheon, ever actually read any of the British books.
There a few titles there that must have been changed before the books went ahead: Team Helix (possibly published as Genetix), Death Rattle and Gene Machine. Night Raven (or Nightraven according to Stan) presumably refers to the second edition of the House of Cards graphic novel (which I've covered in previous posts).
