Hi Steve, please check this auction out. Not sure if the repro color photos of the #1 cover and Stan Lee pic were given out at the launch like the description says. Any info would be helpful and appreciated.
Thanks for the link. It’s interesting to see. I guess there must have been a launch pack to send out to distributors. I’ve never seen one, and I was young enough to buy my first copy from the newsagents, long before I ever worked for Marvel UK. It’s amazing how much these items are going for these days. I’m glad I still have mine… and the transfer somewhere.
Thanks, Dave! Yes, I thought the very same thing. It would be interesting to know what type of camera they were considering. Probably not a Hasselblad!
Another corker! (As they used to say back in the 70s). Interesting that the "Free Camera" offer for every reader became "Great Mystery Surprise" on the final cover. I guess they realised that giving a free camera to every reader might have made a rather large dent in the profits.
