There were some pocketbooks released in the UK, usually reprinting vintage Marvel action. They couldn't quite fit in one's pocket. The measurements were, erm, Confessor? Anyone know metric? I'm an imperial guy. Here's one, anyway: So, as this topic concludes, you can see that Marvel has had a consistent reprint presence here in the UK. And the licensees have been consistent, too. Right now, Panini UK do a great job delivering Marvel action. DC, on the other hand, have had a rather inconsistent reprint presence here (there are currently no DC reprint titles in the UK), but that's another story...

I went through my Doctor Who Monthly run recently and found the posters hyped on the covers were mostly just a center spread in colour, sometimes blank white on one side and sometimes ads. I think later the title had the double center poster that was twice the center spread size, I'm sure I had at least one of those. There are ads in this early '80s Marvel magazine for their other publications sometimes (though more often showing Blake's 7 than superheroes). There were often seasonal specials that were more like the U.S. 'annual' of a thicker regular format issue priced at a third more than a monthly (60p to their 40p) and four times the price as those thin weeklies (of 15p). I have each Doctor Who Special into the Sylvester McCoy era, which I think makes fourteen or sixteen of them, plus the regular Monthly from #44-97 (not quite half way into the Colin Baker era).
