MAKE MINE MIGHTY WORLD Of MARVEL...

Copyright MARVEL COMICS.  Published by PANINI

I walked into WHS two days ago (September 30th) and saw the latest issue of The MIGHTY WORLD Of MARVEL (#4) sitting on the shelves.  Hard to believe that it was 42 years to the day since the very first issue of the weekly incarnation of this periodical went on sale in the U.K.  Cover-dated October 7th, 1972, it had actually appeared in the shops a week earlier, to give it a full seven days shelf life before the next issue came in.

So what delights does the currrent version contain to enthrall and entertain its readers?  You'll have to buy a copy to find out, because the only strip I read these days is DAREDEVIL, which is top-notch stuff.  Of course, that doesn't necessarily mean that the other contents aren't likewise excellent, but they fail to call out to me in the same entrancing way that The MAN WITHOUT FEAR does.

Okay, I've done my Marvel duty by showing you what the mag looks like; it's now your turn as a dyed-in-the-wool Marvelite (assuming you are) to demonstrate your allegiance by running out and buying a copy.  Why are you still here?  MWOM awaits!

And here are four more Mighty Marvel Mags currently on sale.

The HAWAIIAN WEDDING SONG - JIM REEVES...

Had a hard day at work?  Sore head, sore feet,

sore back?  Don't worry, all your aches and pains are

about to melt away as you sit back and relax and unwind

to the smooth velvet voice of Gentleman JIM REEVES.

Surely his CDs should be made available on the NHS?

Seems an eminently sensible idea to me.
