Published Tue, 03 May 2022 05:58:09 -0500

Tim Quinn & Dicky Howett, two names that are resonant with anyone who bought Marvel UK reprint coimic books in the seventies and eighties, especially for Earth 33 1/3, The Fantastic 400 and Doctor Who? cartoon strips that parodies Marvel Comics and Doctor Who characters that ran in the Marvel UK reprint comic books themselves. The UK equivalent of Fred Hembeck, they were as notable for their original work for Marvel UK as Alan Moore and Alan Davis ever were. And now that work is being collected.

Monster Marvel Memories is produced by Moochin' About Publications. Compiled, edited and designed by its resident artist Iman Kakai-Lazell. The book is launched at Comic Con Liverpool on 21 and 22 May where Quinn and Howett will sign copies. As well as the strips, the book also includes the pair's memories, photos and memorabilia including a never-published poem specially written by Marvel legend Stan Lee on 'How To Be a Super-Hero'. Copies of the book will also include a free comic book featuring the pair's take on Doctor Who's Dalek World. You can buy your own copy here, but I am going to beat you to it as soon as I have finished typing this.
