I like the way they used cover images from the FF to produce the first tweo covers (which was easy since the FF wern't ON the covers. Where else did you see that happen?). I look forward to seeing more British reprint covers, and will try to ID new art when possible.Nick Caputohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05096100224095280865noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3740495193314269367.post-26919820528852694642012-02-28T07:01:57.216+00:002012-02-28T07:01:57.216+00:00I've had a look at the internet and there seem...I've had a look at the internet and there seems to be debate as to how the name is pronounced. Two sources claim the opposite of each other, one saying that REH pronounced it 'Caw-nan' (or 'nin' - yes, there's even controversy on how the second syllable should be pronounced) and another saying 'Coe-nin' (or 'nan' or 'nun'). My view is this - pronounce it how you like and don't worry about it. Here's a selection of possibilities:<br /><br />Coe-nin, Coe-nAn, Coe-nun, Caw-nin, Caw-nAn, Caw-nun, etc. Take yer pick.Kidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07224781868125924337noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3740495193314269367.post-36823721535825284132012-02-27T19:03:44.010+00:002012-02-27T19:03:44.010+00:00I've heard Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's name p...I've heard Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's name pronounced both ways, but more often as 'Con-an' rather than 'Co-nan', which is why I pronounce the Cimmerian's name the same way.

It wasn't 'til I hunted it down and bought it from another shop that I realised I could've bought it in the first one.<br /><br />Steve, I remember the Stan Lee voiced TV ads for MWOM and SMCW, but I never saw the Magpie episode you speak of. Wish I had now. Maybe Americans just pronounce Conan's name differently to us (same as aluminium)? It'll always be 'Con(n)an' to me.Kidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07224781868125924337noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3740495193314269367.post-57245401334855465832012-02-27T09:25:28.868+00:002012-02-27T09:25:28.868+00:00I remember Stan Lee appearing on the TV show Magpi...I remember Stan Lee appearing on the TV show <i>Magpie</i> to promote the launch of those two comics. The interview started off with him pretending to be an angry J Jonah Jameson, while presenter Tommy Boyd played Spider-Man.<br /><br />It was only when I saw that interview that I discovered that Conan was pronounced Coe-nan and not Connan.Steve W.https://www.blogger.com/profile/09191442559702617745noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3740495193314269367.post-43918943123153793632012-02-27T07:18:02.260+00:002012-02-27T07:18:02.260+00:00I've never seen two of those covers.

This post reminded me that he never got The Super-Heroes issues 2 & 3 and I never got SSOC 3.<br /> Either there was a delivery glitch for a couple of weeks or my mum must have succumbed to "pester power" and added both titles to our order.Dougiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03965448821892833703noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3740495193314269367.post-62122578009506987202012-02-27T00:43:23.104+00:002012-02-27T00:43:23.104+00:00I suppose, in the main, each reprinting every few ...I suppose, in the main, each reprinting every few years had a whole new audience. Readers like myself were probably the exceptions. However, there was always something different with each presentation which differentiated it from the one before.
