Every so often, I like to browse old UK fanzines to see if any snippets jump out that fit with some of my UKPV research. Many do, as it turns out which adds to the comfort that I've captured them all correctly. More or less.

Here's one such snippet, from The Panelologist #5 from May 1976:

Here's another clipping from issue #6 (Aug-Sep 76):

 

Did Fantastic Four indeed not come over for two months?

 

Not bad! Explains why I've never found #176 I suppose.

And did X-Men, Premier and Spotlight stop?

Yup.

Nice

For those who find UKPV history interesting, my early UK distribution review thread below is developing nicely and touching on many UKPV related points (e.g. gap theory):

A nice read on a rainy afternoon if you fancy it

I don't know if y'all do Facebook, but LCS got in a massive UK Collection correctly named. At least maybe the pics can help possibly with any research @Get Marwood & I @rakehell

I was just going through some Marvels I'm going to be selling and found this.

I would now like to be considered for the "least interesting book posted in this thread for quite some time" award please.

Hey a lot of us here in the UK started on this stuff, its printed on cheap newsprint type material and doesnt fair well condition wise, so its always nice to see these nice copies from a nostalgia point of view, back in the day when my collection was far from complete, it was filled with  these as gap fillers so I could read all the stories

Ya I had missed part of the stores video, when I tuned in he was touting the color and presentation 

I tried to to at least make the pictures smaller or less cumbersome 

glad to see really any UK copies here, whenever I find something that looks to have pence on the cover, it tends to be a Charlton. 

this time my excitement got the best of me

glad to hear they served a purpose if even reader filler!

Hi comiczguy2.
This thread is about the UK Price Variants which were produced in the US for the UK market EXACTLY the same as the US editions (right down to the indicias and ads).
The ones you have will be UK reprints and will have UK publishers and printers in  the indicia as well as UK ads.

Thanks for thinking of us. Condition on those looks really nice. You can pick them up over here for literally pennies, but not often in such great shape.
