The Fantastic Four is a fictional Superhero team appearing in Comic books published by Marvel Comics. This lasted till 1969 when the last superhero strip was removed from Smash!, leaving no Marvel titles being reprinted in the UK at all.

Seeing a gap in the popular weekly comics market of the UK at the time, Marvel Comics formed their own British publishing arm. The United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland, commonly known as the United Kingdom, the UK or Britain,is a Sovereign state located Marvel Comics is an American comic book company owned by Marvel Publishing Inc Starting with The Mighty World Of Marvel (commonly shortened to MWOM) in 1972 they started black and white (though early issues of MWOM did feature some colour) reprints of The Hulk, Spider-Man and the Fantastic Four.

As is the custom of British weekly titles, the first issue featured a free gift. MWOM #1 featured a Hulk iron on t-shirt transfer.

The title proved to be a huge success and a few months later Spider-Man Comics Weekly was released. Spider-Man is a Fictional character appearing in Comic books published by Marvel Comics. Again this carried on reprinted American Spider-Man material originally started in MWOM. The Spider-Man weekly comic would continue until 1985.

During the next few years Marvel UK established themselves (also during this time, Neil Tennant was employed as editor) as a major publisher of weekly comic titles along with D.C Thomson and IPC. Neil Francis Tennant (born 10 July 1954 is a English Musician, singer and songwriter who with his colleague Chris Lowe, make up the successful D C Thomson & Co Ltd, is a publishing company based in Dundee, Scotland, best known for producing Oor Wullie, The Broons IPC Media is one of the United Kingdom 's leading consumer Magazine and digital publisher with a large portfolio selling over 350 million copies each year However, with the exception of some new covers drawn by Marvel Comics American staff, no original material had yet been produced.

Dark Horse Comics is one of the largest independent American Comic book publishers behind dominant publishers Marvel Comics and DC Comics The Marvel UK Star Wars comic was published in various formats until 1986.

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. Stan Lee (born Stanley Martin Lieber; December 28, 1922) is an American Writer, editor, creator of comic book characters Derek "Dez" Skinn is a British Comic book and Magazine editor and author of number of books on comics Giving Skinn freedom to do what he felt best and knowing Skinn had huge experience in British comic publishing, Lee saw Skinn as a British version of himself.

Stan Lee (born Stanley Martin Lieber; December 28, 1922) is an American Writer, editor, creator of comic book characters

Skinn set out to change Marvel UK as he saw fit. The first major change he would bring was to have original material produced by British creators. Many of these creators had already worked with Skinn on his title, The House of Hammer a few years earlier, plus some new young talent.

The first title to show this mix was Hulk Weekly which started out with originally produced Hulk stories created by Steve Dillon, Paul Neary and John Stokes among others.

Overkill was a Marvel UK anthology published during the 1990s deliberately designed as a Marvel equivalent to 2000AD.

There was a deliberate policy to feature Marvel US guest-stars in the Marvel UK stories. However, they would only be featured on 11 pages, and these eleven pages were designed to be able to cut from the main story; the eleven pages without the guest-star were run in Overkill.

Very few Marvel US comics actually referenced any of the original characters or major events that occurred within the Marvel UK comics.

Nevertheless in the US, these comics were initially immensely successful with some issues being reprinted to keep up with demand. Unfortunately, despite an impressive line up of creative talent that included Liam Sharp, Simon Coleby, Bryan Hitch, Graham Marks, Dan Abnett and many others, too many titles were launched too quickly in a market which was already swamped by the early 1990s comics boom.

Thanks to this licensing deal reprints of American Marvel Comics material was once again published in the UK by Panini from the mid-1990s. Each book would contain approximately two or three Marvel US strips in one issue with possibly a 'classic' comic printed as a substitute for a comic in the current run, whilst being priced at a reasonable level.
