Description
My first new artwork of 2025. Lets get into one of my rare, long winded, backgrounds on why I wanted this so much. Actual US editions were pretty scarce in Ireland in the 1970's and 80's. You could get them in very few places, so most comic readers read British comics and could only read US ones through mainly reprint titles, often with appalling production values. You take what you can get. Most of the time the only new material in these reprints heavy issues were the covers and stuff like this comic strip. A charming take on US comics that ran for years in Marvel UK. Anyone who read these UK marvels will have warm memories of these, the highlight of the comic.

Just read this. Not that long winded at all. Two paragraphs. Call me Mr. Brevity, or Mr. Easily Bored with Typing, having spent over a quarter of a century hitting buttons. Fancy pants people call them keys even though they look nothing like keys. Neither do comic book keys. They look like comics.

I see you found the British Manix. Fun gag!

Rare feat of being a strip and an ad!  Maybe announcing that Marvel UK was going to bring new stories instead of just reprints when switching to the glossy cover era.
