1996: COMICS INTERNATIONAL REPORTS THE END OF MARVEL UK

From July 1996: COMICS INTERNATIONAL issue 70 boasts an impressive 2000AD cover to celebrate 1000 issues in print (they've done another 1000+ since) and reports on the demise of MARVEL UK (although it did live on, of course, as Panini UK...) after some 23-odd years of UK operations.  The end of an era.
