As far as we know this, is the first time the Alan Moore stuff has been collected. In 1990, a 68 page book collected stories by Parkhouse and Lloyd but at the time, the Moore stories – all illustrated prose – were supposedly unavailable because of copyright issues. This may also be the same reason DC Comics has never reprinted his Batman text stories from the British annuals.

Have these issues have been resolved or Marvel is just pulling a Zenith?

That 1990 reprint had the Parkhouse and Lloyd pages coloured. Will this book do that again or go with the original black and white?

Oh, and is "From the Marvel UK Vaults" is a one-off description or the start of a new reprint line?
