The comic surprised me, as I never thought Gold Key would use foreign reprints for one of their comics. Perhaps they thought that only a British strip would capture the spirit of a British programme?Kidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07224781868125924337noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3740495193314269367.post-3595578903713004972016-09-04T03:10:31.636+01:002016-09-04T03:10:31.636+01:00I had it, but don't remember much about it. We...I had it, but don't remember much about it. Well, I remember the villains dressed as Roman soldiers and a bystander saying something like, "Are the Romans invading Britain again?" And the second story where the scientist had invented the mirage-making machine. <br /><br />The trademark snag (the cover said "John Steed Emma Peel" although the indicia on page one said "The Avengers") may be similar to a DC vs. Marvel Comics (or Billy Batson vs. Mar-Vell) trademark dispute sometime around 1973. That case ended with DC being allowed to use the name "Captain Marvel" in the strip itself, but not on covers or in merchandising. So the DC comic was entitled Shazam, and the subtitle was changed from "The Original Captain Marvel" to "The World's Mightiest Mortal."
