A Splash of Week Ending: 2022

Pin-Ups, Mailbags and More Dec 1972.

Sadly this is the last of the bonus blogs where you'll find pin-ups, mailbags, adverts and miscellaneous pages from this month.

As we move into 1973, and begin to read multiple Marvel UK titles each week, I'll add these extra pages to their corresponding Week Ending blog.

Due to the required extra reading, and available free time, I'll also rely on the splash pages to tell their tale. I hope that these will inspire you to check out the stories for yourself.

My favourite is the adverts section, presenting a time capsule to our childhood in the 70's.

Why not check out the mailbags to see if your letter has been printed.

A Splash of Week Ending Dec 30, 1972.

It's issue 13 of "The Mighty World Of Marvel" and The Hulk returns after a long break from his original "The Incredible Hulk" 6 issue run, returning in Tales to Astonish #60 for more adventures. The story introduces us to the more familiar stress based transformations of The Hulk, rather than the previous self induced Gamma ray doses of the original run. Spider-Man formulates an antidote to transform The Lizard back in to Dr Connors, and the Sub-Mariner discovers that even he can't trust Doctor Doom in his evil plans, as he helps return the Fantastic Four and the Baxter Building to earth after their abduction into deep space.

Special thanks to the uncredited artists who create the amazing splash pages of Marvel UK's weekly anthology titles. You are the reason these comics are so unique.

Please leave a comment if you see any of your work, you deserve the recognition.
