1973: ON SALE THIS MONTH: THE MIGHTY WORLD OF MARVEL Issue 17 (Marvel UK)


On sale this week in 1973: MARVEL UK's THE MIGHTY WORLD OF MARVEL issue 17, cover-dated 27 January 1973.

This was still the British Bullpen's only title (SPIDER-MAN would follow in a few months) so it still boasted the premium tier line-up of THE INCREDIBLE HULK, FANTASTIC FOUR and SPIDER-MAN.  All of the reprints would have been familiar to readers of the Power Comics line of the previous decade... but it's a safe bet that many of those readers had long since moved on from comics... leaving the next generation of Marveldom to discover them for the first time.
