POSTER 'PUZZLE' FINALLY SOLVED...
Copyright MARVEL COMICS |
Remember this poster, peeps? It was given away in return for 8 (I think) cut-out coupons from The MIGHTY WORLD Of MARVEL way back in 1972. The one you see here is a scan of a preview in one of the weekly issues and is nowhere near as impressive-looking as the actual 'bigger than a breadbox' item itself. I showed this in a post published back in 2015 (how time flies) and was unsure whether this (and its subsequent SPIDER-MAN COMICS WEEKLY counterpart poster) was produced for the States and then pressed into service in Britain, or vice versa, as I seemed to recall them being advertised in US mags at some point.
Well, I've just seen the one above in an ad (below) in my facsimile edition of The INCREDIBLE HULK #180, which came out in 1974, so it seems that it was produced for the UK first, and then made available in the US. (Unless it had previously appeared in an earlier American issue.) I still have the impression that I saw the Spidey one in a US mag as well, but so far haven't been able to confirm whether my seeming memory of it is accurate or not. Still, it seems I've solved the mystery in regard to the above one. (I have a replacement of the actual full-size poster, but it's never been up on the wall, though my original was back in 1972.)
Anyway, here's a question for all of our Stateside readers: Did any of you ever have this poster back in the day - or the Spidey one - and if so, just how did you acquire them? (Reader Phil S probably had them when he stayed in Britain back then, but I'm thinking of those who lived in America at the time.)
