A cascading cornucopia of cool comics, crazy cartoons, & classic collectables - plus other completely captivating & occasionally controversial contents. With nostalgic notions, sentimental sighings, wistful wonderings, remorseful ruminations, melancholy musings, rueful reflections, poignant ponderings, & yearnings for yesteryear. (And a few profound perplexities, puzzling paradoxes, & a bevy of big, beautiful, bedazzling, buxom Babes to round it all off.)
U.K. Marvel titles today, Chris, are certainly presented better than they've ever been (remember when '70s readers wanted the weeklies to be monthly and in full-colour?), but I'd love to see the early stories presented in this format. Next month 'though, The Origin Of Dr. Strange (by Lee & Ditko) will be published in MWOM #27, so that's something to look forward to.
Yes a classics title would be very welcome - picking out the very best. They were printing the Lee Kirby classics in sequence in the FF title but I think that a more random approach would have been more satisfying.
I think I prefer the sequential approach to reprints, especially FF ones. Interestingly, one of the stories the FF Adventures mag reprinted had pages I'd restored for a Masterworks volume. I'd used pages from Smash! as my source, so it was nice to see things come round full circle. From Smash! to Masterworks to FF Adventures - U.K. to U.S. to U.K. - and thus did the child become father to the man. (Pretentious? Moi?)

Who says this isn't the golden age of UK Marvel titles, even if the 70s titles hold a lot of nostalgia. 'Nuff said.
