gledzee Posted May 8, 2010 Share Posted May 8, 2010 yeah i used to buy these years ago before i discovered my local comic shop ,started essential x men at issue 2 and spider-man at around issue 7 really great value (they were printing the clone saga in spidey when i started & would have cost a fortune to buy seperatley) let me know if you need any back issues Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MiniFiend UK Posted May 8, 2010 Share Posted May 8, 2010 I did get the Spidey one awhile back but found they where very spotty to get in my normal papershop even when i asked them to get it in for me. So kinda drifted away from it. Now I just get Trades or graphic novels coving stories I want to read. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buttheadsmate Posted May 9, 2010 Share Posted May 9, 2010 I read the Astonishing Spider-Man albeit infrequently because as MiniFiend mentioned they are spotty to get. I have all the original Mighty World of Marvels & all the original 1972 -85 run. This was the first UK Marvel comic ever , 11th February 1967, & I still have every issue.

magicmilner Posted May 9, 2010 Author Share Posted May 9, 2010 Hey gledzee I may be interested in a few back issues from the clone sage run i'll check which ones i'm missing and let ya know I read the Astonishing Spider-Man albeit infrequently because as MiniFiend mentioned they are spotty to get. I have all the original Mighty World of Marvels & all the original 1972 -85 run. This was the first UK Marvel comic ever , 11th February 1967, & I still have every issue. Wow some cool stuff you've got there I used to also get Exploits of Spiderman, The complete Spiderman and Spiderman and Zoids I find W H Smith's are the best bet to pick up MArvel UK comics Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
