A couple of them also probably came from that selfsame '68 Skegness holiday. There was no telly in that caravan, but I had PLENTY of thick comic books to read!<br />Interestingly, the first two are catalogued as Marvel Tales ANNUAL in GCD, with "Marvel Tales" beginning at issue #3!John Pitthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08035300858247327343noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3740495193314269367.post-89634662054953769192017-03-06T06:12:46.344+00:002017-03-06T06:12:46.344+00:00I loved the early '80s Marvel Tales, TC, becau...I loved the early '80s Marvel Tales, TC, because they reprinted the Lee/Ditko Spidey classics from the very beginning. I first read 'The Living Brain' in a British comic called 'Pow!' back in the '60s.Kidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07224781868125924337noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3740495193314269367.post-40346096498309283142017-03-06T04:26:23.492+00:002017-03-06T04:26:23.492+00:00I must have had #5 and #11, because I remember Spi...I must have had #5 and #11, because I remember Spider-Man vs. The Living Brain, Thor in "Prisoner of the Reds," and Spider-Man vs. Daredevil (as I recall, the Ringmaster had hypnotized Spidey). <br /><br />I remembered this comic having Spider-Man, Ant-Man, and Thor reprints, but I'd forgotten that it also reprinted the Torch solo strip from Strange Tales. <br /><br />Like Marvel's Greatest Comics and Marvel Super-Heroes, Marvel Tales later went down to the standard 32-page size, and there was only enough room for the Spider-Man reprints.
