Back in 2019, I published a Marvel Treasury Editions Cover Gallery (here), but recently I purchased three new ones and have now added them to the post. Click the above link if you're interested in copping a gander. I think I had #13 at the time, 14 & 15 I'm not so sure about, even though the covers seem familiar to me. However, that could be because I saw them advertised on the back of some Marvel UK weeklies. Pop over and remind yourselves of which ones you owned.
I've just looked at that cover gallery, Kid, and the accompanying comments. In answer to MY comment you state you'd like to acquire TE #19 (Conan) which reprinted the story "Iron Shadows In The Moon" from US Savage Sword #4 (but UK Savage Sword #1) because it's reprinted in colour. Obviously you still haven't got around to purchasing said TE.
ReplyDeleteI don't think I had it at the time, CJ, so I'm not particularly consumed by a desire to own it now unless I also got #s 16, 17, 18, & 20, which I never had either. I now own every TE I had back then with perhaps a couple more, so that'll do me for now. Never say never though.
DeleteTo be a pedant for a moment, CJ, what I actually said was that I wouldn't mind SEEING that issue so I could compare the story with the b&w version, I didn't say I wanted to acquire it. (I know 'cos I just went and had a look at the comments.)
DeleteAll is now clear, Kid :)
ReplyDelete#19 was the only TE that I actually bought in WH Smith's. I had numerous others mostly acquired in swaps plus the two I bought in a newsagent's at the seaside.
The Dr Strange cover (minus floating Clea) was used again on a paperback-sized collection of the earliest Lee/Ditko Dr Strange stories which I bought in the Autumn of 1978. As I'd missed the first two years of Marvel UK it was my first chance to read those early stories.
Yes, I've got that very paperback and mentioned it in my reply to Spirit Of 64, CJ. I'm still not fully alert yet, but I believe I acquired it back when it first came out.
DeleteOops, I should have noticed that, Kid, but I skimmed over the comments to see if I'd left one.
ReplyDeleteAt the time there was also a similar paperback which reprinted the early FF stories which I'd already read in The Complete FF by then but I bought the paperback anyway probably because it featured the stories in colour.
Well, I've consulted with my fellow adjudicators, CJ, and we've agreed to let you off this time. Next time, though, we'll have to deal with you very seriously.
DeleteOff the top of my head, I've got two Spider-Man Pocket Books (for such they were called), two FF ones, a Hulk one, and a Dr. Strange one. Maybe I've got a Conan one too.
