	Letters from America: An interview with Richard Starkings (1/2)
		As Marvel UK expanded its line of publications, Richard found himself climbing the ladder to an editorial post in charge of many of the company's licensed properties.
		Reprints fed much of the Marvel UK output, but sales were strong enough for Starkings and his colleagues, Ian Rimmer, John Tomlinson and Simon Furman, to commission original work from young hopefuls such as Dougie Braithwaite, Bryan Hitch and Liam Sharp.
		However, he also challenged the UK contingent to come up with a couple of new projects of their own.

	Marvel UK - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Marvel UK had began publishing a weekly Star Wars title after the film was released in the UK in early 1978.
		Marvel UK had begun to weaken in this time and it was on a visit to the UK that Stan Lee headhunted Dez Skinn to revamp the ailing company.
		By 1982 Marvel UK had almost completely stopped publishing weekly titles and moved mainly to monthly titles such as The Daredevils (featuring Moore and Davis's Captain Britain) and The Mighty World Of Marvel, which by now was firmly established as a monthly title.

	Encyclopedia: Marvel Comics (Site not responding. Last check: )
		Marvel was pioneering new methods of comics storytelling and characterization, addressing more serious themes, and in the process keeping and attracting readers in their teens and beyond.
		Marvel was able to capitalize on its successful superhero comics of the previous decade by acquiring a new newsstand distributor and greatly expanding its comics line.
		In 1957, Marvel almost closed its doors due to the bankruptcy (A legal process intended to insure equality among the creditors of a corporation declared in bankruptcy) of their distributor (Electrical device that distributes voltage to the spark plugs of a gasoline engine in the order of the firing sequence).

	Marvel UK - Definition, explanation
		Marvel UK was an imprint of Marvel Comics from the 1970s to the 1990s.
		In the 1990s Marvel UK made a push to capture a segment of the US comic market.
		Marvel UK is now part of Panini Publishing, which continues to provide reprint titles and DWM.

	The Transformers Archive
		Basically, the UK comic was weekly rather than monthly, so even after the US strips had been split in half, the Marvel UK staff needed to make two weeks' worth of material in-house.
		He then wrote every UK exclusive story for the rest of the title, although "Crisis of Command" was scripted by Mike Collins for parts 1 and 3, and James Hill for Part 2 [In TF #42 and 44, and 43 respectively].
		Marvel initially intended there to be only a four-issue limited series, but sales were so good that at the last minute it was decided to switch to an ongoing series.

	Down the Tubes: Life at Marvel UK
		For the new Marvel UK universe Neary drew on past creations, such as Death's Head, but reinvented them within a new universe (though still part of the Marvel Universe) where a nefarious, shadowy organisation -- MysTech --plotted world domination, utilising techno-majick, supra-sciences so advanced they were indistinguishable from magic.
		The general consensus now seems to be that the sheer number of titles created by Marvel UK outweighed the tiny's company to continue to produce high-quality work and this, combined with the 1990s downturn in comics sales, brought about an implosion and the end of the range after two short years of success.
		Marvel UK also used computerised colouring methods, though not in house, and the results are possibly a far cry from the sophisticated renderings of today.

	Marvel UK
		Marvel UK Marvel U.K. Marvel Comics has a long history of creating superhero characters.
		U.K. Annuals around this time also started to produce new material and new characters, at least in text stories in said Annuals.
		Having left Marvel Superheroes Monthly shortly before that title was cancelled, to go his new home in The Daredevils, the U.K.'s national hero was revamped by the definitive creative team of Alan Moore and Alan Davis.

		Marvel UK's former managing director, Robert Sutherland, also talked to me briefly about editing for Marvel UK freelance so that I could continue to develop "The Sleeze Brothers" with John Carnell and Andy Lanning.
		Marvel's interest came to naught but we created a separate company so that prospective buyers who were interested in Comicraft as a production house couldn't also lay claim to the fonts we'd created.
		Simon Furman's affection for Marvel UK's "Transformers" title kept it compelling for much longer than one might expect for a comic based on a toy -- and he continued his storyline in the US titles.

		UK 146-150 "Legacy of Unicron" Propably the best bigger saga using characters from the movie and set into future.
		UK #168-169, Meltdown - not the sharpest writing in the build-up, but Impactor's reanimation and true death is very affecting.
		It's one of the little parts of the UK continuity I like the most - from the single panel in the very first issue that featured Ravage and Megatron talking all kinds of grand Decepticon scheming, Furman extrapolated a complicated friendship between the commander and the spy.

		All the information about the characters could easily be found on the internet for free (even marvel give it away on their website) and would probably be more informative, as this only considers stories published in the last few years worth mentioning.
		I was immediately attracted to this collection of Marvel heroes and villains because of the price, which is low for a hardback.
		The book is gorgeous and features artwork from just about all the Marvel artists of recent years.

		Imagine you took your Marvel Legends figures and shrunk them down to 4" or so, but kept the detail and the artiulation.
		The figures we saw weren't as articulated as their Marvel Legends cousins as far as I could see (the most noticable I remember being that the hinged shoulders seemed to be absent), but they were still very good, and things could change as ToyFair approaches.
		From what I could see and was told, it looks like everything isn't all finalised yet, but I would defintely make a note for this to be a line to watch come the US ToyFair.

	Return of the Captain!
		From what I understand non-American original stories featuring Marvel characters (of which it seems there are rather a lot, produced for the local markets in a reasonable number of countries around the world) tend not to see print Stateside.
		Well, the desperate state of the UK news stand comics scene means that most of us don’t pay a lot of attention to what’s on the newsagent’s shelf.
		Marvel UK/Panini seem to be out to fill that gap and I for one applaud them for that.

		Simon continued to work for Marvel until the end of the Generation 2 series and thereafter maintained his ties by writing the occasional Beast Wars episodes and convention comics.
		The Special Teams (in UK #63-65) story was one such instance, and in that case (because we were some way off reprinting the corresponding US issues) we had to work them in somehow (chronologically ahead of time).
		The Marvel UK editorial originally promised a monthly comic as of issue 333, complete with a new 5 page story each issue written by yourself.

		First of Marvel have included a small section devoted to the movies (Daredevil, Punisher) which IMO should have been left out - most comic fans only have a passing interest in the flicks and would rather have more pics of their fav characters.
		This volume contains alot of information on the characters that make up the Marvel Knights roster (Daredevil, Punisher, Blade, Ghost Rider and Elektra) and includes a few pages detailing the main characters and then smaller sections to talk about the "lesser" characters (it works quite well).
		Its still a much needed book for any Marvel fan and I cant wait for the next edtion of the Encyclopedia.

		Despite sales, Marvel UK was thought of more as a tax loss rather than a serious business.
		Still, if nothing else, Stan was enthusiastic and eager to spread the pull of the Bullpen, so ultimately an all-UK character was eventually published - namely Captain Britain.

	The Hulk Library - Hulk Comic Book
		HULK COMIC was published weekly by Marvel UK for 63 issues between March 1979 and May 1980...
		The comic was launched to capitalize on the Bixby/Ferrigno television show, (as demonstrated by the usual cover blurbs “TV’s No.1 HERO” and “MARVEL’S TV SENSATION!”), and the character was portrayed as a compromise between the TV show and the Seventies comics version.
		Generally drawn a bit slimmer than the comics version, but larger than Ferrigno, (several artists were used and so it varied), this version of the Hulk could be injured and would tire.

		The news I'm hearing out of the UK is that Marvel Legends 9 will be May. I'm actually quite surprised at that as both UK and Canadian ToyFair had packaged samples on display and had guessed March.
