1990: MARVEL UK BOOKS House Ad

From December 1990: something of a work-in-progress House Ad for some of MARVEL UK's Graphic Novels and Trade Paperbacks.  

The NIGHT RAVEN book doesn't seem to have any cover art so the designer has used some panels from the strips themselves.  The final cover for NIGHT RAVEN THE COLLECTED STORIES can be found here.

THE CHRONICLES OF GENGHIS GRIMTOAD was a graphic novel rather than a trade paperback.  I've posted the cover here. 

DEATH'S HEAD THE BODY IN QUESTION was, indeed, a graphic novel (and also serialized in STRIP) and a full scan of the cover can be found here.  "Also trade paperback" must refer, not to an alternative edition of TBIQ, but to THE LIFE AND TIMES OF DEATH'S HEAD (see here for the cover). 

The artwork for THE SLEEZE BROTHERS is the cover of the first issue of the comic.  The collection was issued with new art.  See here.

1990: THE SLEEZE BROTHERS TRADE PAPERBACK (Marvel UK)

Another MARVEL UK Trade Paperback from the 1990 Book Explosion: a collection of the six-part M-UK/ Epic limited series THE SLEEZE BROTHERS. 

The 'distressed' look of the cover is entirely deliberate and not an example of a particularly unloved copy.  

1989: THE SLEEZE BROTHERS HOUSE AD

Here's a one-page strip used as an in-house advert for Marvel UK's early US-format comic THE SLEEZE BROTHERS (published under the Epic Comics imprint state-side) by John Carnell and Andy Lanning.

The six-issue series appeared in 1989.

Marvel UK did their best to promote the characters by also making them guest stars in the WHO strip, Follow That TARDIS!, published in DOCTOR WHO MAGAZINE issue 147 (April 1989).

1989: MARVEL UK US-FORMAT HOUSE AD

Here's a Marvel UK house ad for their late eighties US-format comic books.  DEATH'S HEAD clocked up 10 issues (plus a graphic novel, The Body in Question, followed by a drastic reboot as Death's Head II), as did Furman's other title: DRAGON'S CLAWS (although there would be no reprieve).  THE SLEEZE BROTHERS was a six-issue limited series published by Marvel UK and US imprint Epic Comics.

All three series have been collected in trade paperback form although THE SLEEZE BROTHERS FILE is long since out-of-print (although fairly easy to track down on-line).
