1983: THE X-MEN AND THE MICRONAUTS Limited Series (Marvel Comics)

From 1983/ 1984: One of the more bonkers limited series (at least until the X-MEN/ TREK crossovers of the Nineties) of the Star Age: X-MEN AND THE MICRONAUTS.

Well, maybe not so strange... the mighty miniature Micronauts were, after all, integral to the mainstream Marvel Universe even through the Bullpen had only borrowed them.  Quite why they were deemed to be worthy of a four-part run in the mutants is less clear.  Presumably the strong sales in the direct market made it a no-brainer for the circulation department.  

Back issue prices don't reflect it but this is also one of the rarest X-outings of the decade.  When Marvel lost the rights to the Micronauts a few years later (a plan to revive them a decade later stalled on the launch pad), they also lost the ability to reprint this four-parter.  It's not been seen outside the back issue bins (where, in truth, it seldom surfaces as a complete set) anywhere (except a four-issue rerun in MARVEL UK's THE MIGHTY WORLD OF MARVEL... which was cancelled a month after the reprints ended) since.  

The announcement that IDW have picked-up the rights to both the 'Nauts and ROM THE SPACE KNIGHT (who, unlike the former, didn't see a return to comics during the early Noughties fad for toy-based print revivals) opens up the slim possibility that both the original series will return to print... although IDW will still have to overcome the problem of multiple appearances by Marvel's copyrighted characters throughout both runs.  

The UK reprint in MWOM marked the last appearance of the Micronauts (following stints in STAR WARS WEEKLY, STAR HEROES and FUTURE TENSE) in the British line.  Their finale should have been in the pages of SECRET WARS II (yup, they were blessed by an encounter with the big-haired Beyonder) but the Annex of Ideas (possibly because the rights had already lapsed) skipped both the Micronauts and Rom crossovers.

1981: ON SALE THIS MONTH: FUTURE TENSE Issue 10 (Marvel UK)

On sale THIS WEEK to be more precise: the tenth issue of MARVEL UK's ill-fated science fiction weekly FUTURE TENSE.

STAR TREK: THE MOTION PICTURE snatched the coveted cover slot for the fourth time in five weeks, having appeared on the front of issues 6 (the first to include the strip) to 8.  The Micronauts broke the run the previous week but Trek was back for this issue before taking an extended break until the nineteenth issue.  It continued to appear in each issue.

1981 was a turbulent year for FT... not least because it was cancelled at the end of the year.  Late January saw the merger of FORCES IN COMBAT, bolstering FT's line-up with Rom the Space Knight.  March saw the merger of VALOUR, shoehorning Conan and Weird World into what was still officially an SF comic.  That combo continued through to July when FT was rebooted again, now as a monthly.  The new incarnation ran for only six issues before folding. 

1978: F.O.O.M FILES Issue 21 (Marvel)

Cracking open the F.O.O.M Files (Friends Of Ol' Marvel, of course) again, here's some pages from the 21st issue, published in Spring 1978, which perfectly captures the post-STAR WARS "Star Age" boom: a starship full of Marvel SF comics.

Many of these will be familiar to British readers of STAR WARS WEEKLY and FUTURE TENSE as many of the strips were convenient page-fillers, especially for SWW which was always desperate for new space adventure material to compensate for a lack of SW material.  Indeed, I wonder if the US Bullpen was commissioning copious amounts of this stuff with one eye on feeding the British weekly as well as capitalising on the boom in the States.

STAR-LORD and GUARDIANS OF THE GALAXY both feature… I doubt anyone at Marvel dreamed they would be the subject of a mega-grossing movie more than 35 years later.

Marvel's commitment to all things SF actually grew, albeit through licensed properties, with the addition of the likes of ROM, THE MICRONAUTS, BATTLESTAR GALACTICA and STAR TREK to the monthly roster.  

I'm not sure of the identity of the cover artist (I don't think Marvel used this piece anywhere else… which is a shame), the piece is credited only to The New York Tribe.

The final page posted was a regular feature devoted to the activities of the British Bullpen.  At some point, in the near future, I'll start posting those as  - occasionally - they give a fascinating insight into what-might-have-been.  

This was the penultimate F.O.O.M outing.

1978: BILL MANTLO on THE MICRONAUTS

This is a nice little two-page article - by prolific Marvel scribe (and - for a long time - their go-to guy for licensed properties) - Bill Mantlo, first published in THE COMICS JOURNAL issue 40 (June 1978) on the origins of THE MICRONAUTS.

As I've noted in various different posts, the diminutive warriors of the Microverse were Marvel UK mainstays between 1979 (when Dez Skinn launched them as a regular supporting feature in STAR WARS WEEKLY) and 1984 (their final regular appearance was their four-part team-up with the X-Men, reprinted in THE MIGHTY WORLD OF MARVEL volume 2 13-16).  Along the way, they also appeared in STAR HEROES WINTER SPECIAL 1979, STAR HEROES POCKET BOOK and FUTURE TENSE.

1980: STAR TREK US MONTHLY (Marvel Comics)

In this post: Spock... the Barbarian!

I surprised myself when I realised that, despite having been posting geek artefacts from yesteryear for over a year, I'd never got around to posting the covers to Marvel's ill-fated STAR TREK US monthly comic book.  So I'm correcting that oversight, in two posts, starting... now.

This eighteen issue run has a reputation, not entirely undeserved, of being pretty poor stuff.  Which - of course - means that it has a certain charm.  

Blessed with the unexpected success of STAR WARS, the House of Ideas actively snapped-up as many of the late seventies Wars wannabes as possible and this formed part of their trinity of tie-ins along with Star Wars and BATTLESTAR GALACTICA.  

Marvel's legal guys sold the (ever changing) creative team a pup by only signing a licensing deal that covered THE MOTION PICTURE and left the two TV incarnations strictly off-limits.  TMP didn't exactly contain many plot points worthy of further exploration, leaving Marvel to cobble together a succession of (mostly single issue) stories that read like poor third season instalments of the TV show.  So - in that sense - they got it right.  

These are generally better than the old Gold Key issues (familiar to British readers thanks to the STAR TREK ANNUALS) because at least you get the impression that the writers and artists have at least watched the TV show, even if they don't really know how to interpret it.  

Marvel surrendered the license after 18 issues despite knowing that a second movie was on the horizon.  Presumably sales were so poor that Marvel felt a second movie would do little to reverse the trend.  It's also possible that paramount were offering the second movie as a separate license and Marvel didn't see the value in renegotiating.  After a hiatus, DC picked-up the rights (which now included all the screen incarnations to date) and did a much better job of it.  

The eighteen issue run, all set in the period after TMP and generally regarded by fans as being the beginnings of a second five year mission, was reprinted in the UK in FUTURE TENSE weekly/ monthly and in two one-shot holiday specials.  

After being out-of-print for decades (but relatively easy to find in the back issue boxes), IDW reissued the entire run in one welcome omnibus edition.  It's worth a look.  

Marvel's movie adaptation first appeared as a glossy Marvel Super Special (see here for a complete run) before being rerun as the first three issues of the monthly book.  In the UK, it appeared in the STAR TREK: THE MOTION PICTURE ANNUAL (Marvel/ Grandreams) and Future Tense.

1978: SEEKER 3000 HOUSE AD (Marvel UK)

This is a really eye-catching Marvel UK house ad, from September 1978, plugging reprints of Marvel's STAR TREK wannabe: SEEKER 3000 in the pages of STAR WARS WEEKLY.

The Seeker strip, reprinted from US MARVEL PREMIERE issue 41 (cover-dated April 1978), resurfaced again - with undue haste - in the first few issues of FUTURE TENSE weekly in late 1980 before giving way to - appropriately - Marvel's Trek adaptation.  

1977: STAR-LORD in MARVEL PREVIEW (Marvel US)

Here's a thrice (actually more) told tale that should be familiar to former readers of STAR WARS WEEKLY and FUTURE TENSE in the UK: STAR-LORD.  Sometimes hyphenated, sometimes not.  And no relation to the IPC weekly of the same name which appeared - briefly - in 1978, after the character's debut.  Hmmm.

Star-Lord first appeared in MARVEL PREVIEW 4 (January 1976), pre-dating the STAR WARS spawned SF boom, in a black & white strip penned by Steve Englehart for the Marvel/ Curtis magazine.  Following Englehart's departure from the Bullpen, Marvel handed the character over to up-and-coming creators Chris Claremont, John Bryne and Terry Austin.  Their first interpretation of the character appeared, again in black & white, in the pages of MARVEL PREVIEW 11 (below).

The first printing of the issue got Marvel into hot water by claiming, on the cover, that it was "in the tradition of Robert A. Heinlein".  The author obviously disagreed and threatened legal action.  The first print run was recalled and pulped, the offending text removed, and then reprinted.

With Marvel UK's STAR WARS WEEKLY constantly desperate for back-up strips to pad-out its pages, it was inevitable that this strip would cross the Atlantic as a serialised filler.

Marvel presumably took a financial hit when the first printing was scrapped... but they found ways of recouping their investment in the end.

With the creative team flavour-of-the-month, thanks to their run on THE X-MEN in the early eighties, Marvel reprinted the strip in the classy STAR-LORD THE SPECIAL EDITION in 1982.  To their credit, they didn't just churn-out the same strip again.  They sympathetically coloured it, added a new wrap-around sequence (by Austin and Mike Golden), added an unrelated DOCTOR WHO back-up (Spider God from the UK weekly) and stunning new front and back covers.

Here we go again... in 1996 Marvel reissued the material, sans a certain Time Lord,  from the 1982 edition as STARLORD MEGAZINE.  It's a nice package (again) but Marvel used their square bound printing process which, time and time again, just creased the cover making the whole thing look a mess.

The one-shot coincided with a new three-issue limited series by Timothy Zahn and Dan Lawlis.

I picked-up both of the above reprints from the same dealer, at the weekend, for the princely combined sum of £1.30p Earth money.  Result.

Star-Lord made several more late-seventies appearances in the pages of MARVEL PREVIEW (issues 14, 15 and 18) and - now in colour - in MARVEL SUPER SPECIAL 10.  

1980: ACTION MAN ADVERT featuring ROM THE SPACE KNIGHT (Palitoy)

Here's an August 1980 ACTION MAN advert (reprinted from BATTLE ACTION) promoting erstwhile Space Knight ROM's inclusion in the UK equivalent of the G.I. JOE toy line.

But... good luck spotting him.  The purpose of the advert was - beyond flogging the toys - to promote a drawing competition to design a suitably bizarre alien creature (note: they have to be a "space enemy", no friendly monsters here!) for the suddenly space-bound Action Man (this was post-STAR WARS... and sales of the old soldier were falling fast) to have a close encounter with.  So, it makes sense that Ron Smith's extra-terrestrial beastie should be centre stage.  But Rom, despite being "our only hope", is barely visible (someone - probably belatedly - obviously spotted this and added his name to his back pack). 

I imagine Action Man manufacturer Palitoy did a deal with Parker Brothers to import a warehouse full of unsold Rom toys and - rather than sell them as a standalone item - bundled him into the Action Man line to hastily bolster its SF credentials.

All this was happening whilst Marvel UK was merrily reprinting the US ROM strips (in FORCES IN COMBAT, FUTURE TENSE and - latterly - STAR WARS) with a completely different continuity.  Copies of the original US books were also appearing in British newsagents, as part of the monthly consignment of imported US Marvels.

1982: FUTURE TENSE: THE FINAL FAREWELL (Marvel UK)

Or - to be more accurate - not.  Having your comic cancelled can be an effective impediment to plans for vengeance. 

I've covered Marvel UK's short-lived, thrill-sucker infected, SF anthology FUTURE TENSE (1980-82.  Barely) in a few previous posts but I've finally got my paws on the hard-to-find final issue, so I thought it would be fun to share this full-page editorial farewell (below).

The panel above is the final frame from the final instalment of THE MICRONAUTS, a reprint of 'Betrayal' the 34th US issue.  Despite the optimistic caption, it marked the last regular appearance of the sometime denizens of the Marvel Microverse in the British line, ending a roller coaster ride encompassing STAR WARS WEEKLY, STAR HEROES WINTER SPECIAL/ POCKET BOOK (issues 1-8 only) and FUTURE TENSE.

The US book eventually clocked-up 59 issues, 2 annuals, the twenty-issue sequel MICRONAUTS: THE NEW VOYAGES and a five-issue run of early reprints in a fancy format (The Micronauts Special Edition).

The Marvel Micronauts, despite a couple of revivals from other publishers, have been stuck in comic book limbo for decades.  The House of Ideas eventually surrendered the license, preventing them from reprinting the back catalogue.  Their decision to firmly route the books in the mainstream Marvel Universe (a sure-fire way of boosting sales with continuous cameos from better-selling characters) makes reprints from another publisher (such as Titan's reruns of Marvel's BATTLESTAR GALACTICA strips or IDW's collection of Marvel's STAR TREK run) unlikely.  It's still possible to find the original US books in the bargain boxes... and they're well-worth grabbing if you can.

The diminutive spacers made one final Marvel UK appearance: a reprint, in the pages of the revived THE MIGHTY WORLD OF MARVEL (13-16, June-September 1984) of THE X-MEN/ MICRONAUTS limited series.  Their SECRET WARS II tie-in (MICRONAUTS: THE NEW VOYAGES 16, January 1986) was omitted (possibly for licensing reasons) from the British reprints.

You have to admire the final editorial below, it seems unusually honest and makes for an interesting recap of the title's (short) history.

FT didn't merge with any other title.  Presumably, the terms of the licensing agreements prevented any other comic rolling into the pages of Marvel's other three SF monthlies of the period (STAR WARS, DOCTOR WHO and BLAKE'S SEVEN) although ROM did, briefly, secure a supporting feature slot in the monthly Star Wars comic.

1981: STAR TREK SUMMER SPECIAL (Marvel UK)

This is the other one (of two) STAR TREK one-shot specials published by Marvel UK in the early 1980s.

It reprints two supernatually-themed US tales (originally published in issues 11 and 12) along with several pages of Star Fleet uniform designs (originally from US issue 10). The cover originally adorned US issue 12.

I've struggled a bit to date this one.  The copyright inside is 1979 but that's clearly not correct (M-UK published their first ever Summer Specials that year and Trek definitely wasn't one of them.  Indeed, these reprints didn't even hit US shelves until late 1980/ early 1981).  Presumably 1979 refers to the year that Marvel acquired the license.  THE (online) COMIC BOOK PRICE GUIDE FOR GREAT BRITAIN says 1979, presumably based on this date.

There's no other date reference inside.  Nor is there any house ad for Marvel's other specials that season to give any clues.

Other online resources say this appeared in Summer 1982.  I don't think that's right either.  It doesn't appear in M-UK's House Ad for that summer's extra offerings.  And, they all sold for 55p whilst this has a cover price of 45p.

So I think this appeared in the Summer of 1981!  Does anyone know better?

I LOVE a mystery!

If that date is right, M-UK were also running Trek weekly (monthly from the August dated issue) in the pages of FUTURE TENSE but there's no attempt to link the two titles... or even cross-promote the chance to follow further adventures of Kirk and co.  This shows a remarkable lack of commercial savvy on Marvel's part.  No wonder FT was gone by the beginning of 1982.

1998: THE MICRONAUTS in MARVEL VISION MAGAZINE

I was flicking through this copy of MARVEL VISION at the weekend, and found this interesting preview for an upcoming Marvel series which surely should be filed under (to borrow from the rather brilliant BACK ISSUE magazine) "Greatest Stories Never Told": The return of the MICRONAUTS.

Marvel must have been pretty confident that this Mego revival was going to happen but - for whatever reason - it never did (Image Comics, followed by Devil's Due, finally had a punt beginning in 2002).

What we see here is - ahem - pretty sketchy which suggests that things hadn't progressed much beyond the development and pitch stage.  There's no sign of any completed interior pages or even a finished cover for promotional and solicitation purposes.

A lot more detail on the failed revival can be found here.

Marvel's original MICRONAUTS ran for 59 issues (1979-84) and two annuals.  The relaunched MICRONAUTS: THE NEW VOYAGES (1984-86) immediately followed and clocked-up another 20 issues.  

In 1983, Marvel launched the deluxe format (lovely paper and printing) MICRONAUTS SPECIAL EDITION (5 issues) that reprinted the early issues.

As mentioned in previous posts, the diminutive warriors made their UK debut in the pages of STAR WARS WEEKLY.  They then appeared, alongside BATTLESTAR GALACTICA, in STAR HEROES WINTER SPECIAL (1979) before becoming a regular fixture, again with Battlestar, in STAR HEROES POCKET BOOK from the following summer.  When that became X-MEN POCKET BOOK, they transferred to FUTURE TENSE weekly (later monthly).  Their final Marvel UK appearance was the reprint of the X-MEN/ MICRONAUTS Limited Series in the pages of the revived THE MIGHTY WORLD OF MARVEL.

MARVEL VISION was Marvel New York's successor to MARVEL AGE MAGAZINE and, once again, served as Marvel's in-house fanzine/ purveyor of puff-pieces.  This issue (cover-dated June 1998) was the last.

1990: STAR TREK: THE NEXT GENERATION from MARVEL UK

TO BOLDLY GO...

This is the first issue of Marvel UK's licensed STAR TREK: THE NEXT GENERATION comic, launched in November 1990 to roughly coincide with the show's first airing on British TV (shared out between the BBC and B-SKY-B).

It's notably for being almost entirely assembled from material originally produced by Marvel's rival US publishers.  The bulk of each issue consisted of reprints from DC Comics' ST:TNG comic book (beginning with their original six-issue mini-series, produced and published during the show's first season and, initially at least, slightly unsure of the tone of the characters and the show*), padded out with articles lifted from Starlog Group's OFFICIAL STAR TREK: THE NEXT GENERATION MAGAZINE.  Unfortunately, Marvel made no effort to hide the origins of the later, simply rerunning the original US text pages and photos.

Neither the comics nor the magazine had enjoyed mainstream distribution in the UK although both were readily available from specialist retailers and ST:TNG fans, desperate for any fix they could get prior to the show hitting British screens (CIC were releasing episodes for home video although initially only as too-expensive-to-buy rental tapes), were already buying them.

TNG was, in many ways, the quintessential Marvel UK publication (albeit assembled from non-Marvel material): hastily assembled with the minimum of origination and creativity.  Fans hoping for something along the lines of DOCTOR WHO MAGAZINE were very disappointed.

Origination was limited to the covers and some editorial pages.  The former were mostly crudely assembled from TNG's (frequently dull) publicity shots (which often also adorned Starlog's magazine) and actual panels from the DC comic strip.  None of the DC covers were reused, suggesting that either M-UK felt them unsuitable or an extra payment was involved.  The originated editorial pages were restricted to an editorial for each issue and a new letters page.  The whole thing had the feel of a comic hastily assembled by someone on work experience just before deadline.

The cover of the first issue was a fairly crude montage of background art created by Paramount for publicity purposes with art (by Pablo Marcos) from the comic strip slapped over the top.  The free gift was a fabric patch of the sort you might attach to your swimming trunks (if you are seven).

Marvel obviously realised they'd boobed (probably when the sales figures came in) and belatedly relaunched it (with an increased page count, better design and a new logo) as a monthly with issue 20.  The origination budget was also jacked-up and new UK editorial added to increase the title's appeal to more discerning British fans.

However, it was too little, too late and the 24th issue (dated 4 January 1992) was the last.  Unlike many of their publications from this era, the TNG magazine did have an official last issue but didn't merge with another title.

Marvel also published an ST:TNG ANNUAL for Christmas 1991 which followed the exact formula of the fortnightly, making it appear particularly poor value.

This wasn't, of course, Marvel UK's first voyage in the Trekverse: they'd published two standalone STAR TREK holiday specials in the early 1980s as well as serialised Marvel's Trek strips in the pages of FUTURE TENSE.  Marvel's adaptation of STAR TREK: THE MOTION PICTURE had also appeared as an annual by Marvel/ Grandreams.

* DC themselves placed this initial adventure, produced (for deadline reasons) just as the show was starting to shoot, between the pilot Encounter at Farpoint and The Naked Now, the show's first two outings.

1980: FORCES IN COMBAT

FORCES IN COMBAT was Marvel UK's long-forgotten 1980-81 adventure weekly, a rare departure from the company's default superhero formula.

FiC is often grouped together with (the also long-overlooked) FURY as M-UK's other war weekly but, despite a long run of war-themed covers, the all-reprint line-up was a more diverse mix of strips, dabbling in science fiction, fantasy and horror.

FiC appeared in the "Skinn II" format: retaining the newsprint covers and interiors from Dez Skinn's January 1979 (partial) relaunch of the weeklies but abandoning his policy of reworking the original US artwork to cram in more panels per page. 

The line-up of strips included FURY OF THE COMMANDOS, MASTERS OF KUNG FU, ROM THE SPACE KNIGHT, THE RAWHIDE KID, KULL, MACHINE MAN, WULF THE BRITON (a rare non-Marvel reprint, originally published in EXPRESS/ TV EXPRESS WEEKLY), WAR IS HELL (the memorable WWII horror series) and the humour strip I WAS ADOLF'S DOUBLE.

Issues 1-3 reinforced the perception of being a war weekly by giving away free stickers of tanks.

From issue 8 onwards, a conscious decision seems to have been made to make FiC appear to be a war weekly with a run of covers through to 21.  The emphasis then switches to a fantasy theme (frequently featuring the Space Knight) for the rest of the run.  It's probable Marvel management saw FiC's fluid formula as a way of testing the popularity of various genres, setting the way for the simultaneous launch of FUTURE TENSE (SF) and VALOUR (Fantasy).

This strategy was probably a mistake as it meant FiC was offering similar material to its newly-launched companions.  For example, VALOUR had Conan whilst FiC had the very similar Kull.  The market for such fantasy fare was presumably limited and Marvel did their best to split it across two weeklies.  It's telling that both shuttered within a few weeks of each other in 1981.

CONAN THE BARBARIAN popped-up everywhere in the seventies and (early) eighties: in his own weekly and monthly (the latter ran concurrently with FiC), THE AVENGERS, THE MIGHTY WORLD OF MARVEL and THE MARVEL COMIC.  Still to come were CONAN THE BARBARIAN POCKET BOOK and VALOUR.

MACHINE MAN would later become familiar to TRANSFORMERS fans as the original back-up strip for the 1984-launched fortnightly.

ROM THE SPACE KNIGHT continued his adventures in FUTURE TENSE (the only strip to survive the merger) and the early FiC material was rerun as a back-up strip in STAR WARS monthly.

MASTERS OF KUNG FU made its UK debut, at the height of the martial arts craze, in the pages of THE AVENGERS.  In 1979, Dez Skinn craftily reworked reprints in MARVEL COMIC as The Specialists, a blatant "borrow" from LWT's THE PROFESSIONALS.

FORCES IN COMBAT merged with FUTURE TENSE... but only for one issue!  Although Rom continued to appear until FT itself was canned but the FiC logo received cover billing for only one issue.
