I only learned of this Annual's existence a few short weeks ago when I saw it on eBay, having absolutely no recollection of ever having seen it back in 1978/'79. I've got the 1977/'78 Annual so I bought this one to keep it company on the shelf, but the one that arrived was not exactly the same as the one pictured in the listing. Can you spot what's different about it?
As you can see from the picture below, my copy is missing the words 'Annual 1979', which means that it was doubtless printed for sale abroad. This was quite a common practice for IPC Annuals, as they were shipped abroad at a later date than they were sold in this country, but it's the first MARVEL Annual I've seen amended in this way. Unlike IPC Annuals though, which merely deleted the year while leaving the word 'Annual', the whole line has been removed and a clumsy 'add in' has replaced it.
If nothing else, it makes for an interesting curio, but I'd have preferred to have received the original version. Any Criv-ites got any other Marvel UK Annuals that have been amended in this way? Tell all, folks!
As you can see below, the contents page was also amended. The book could possibly remain on sale for years without the date on it.
And below is the back cover of both versions, sans title. Wouldn't make a bad pin-up, would it?
