Marvelman Family's Finest #1-6 (of 6) Plus Marvelman Classic Primer Complete

MARVELMAN COMES TO MARVEL! Who is the mysterious Marvelman? The answer to that question is one of the most mysterious in comics lore. Created in 1954 by writer/artist Mick Anglo, the character enjoyed a long run in the British comics market as one of its most powerful heroes. A few decades later, the character was revived with a dark, moody, deconstructionist bent, and produced one of the most important works of comic art in the medium's history. But now, miracle of miracles, Marvel has stepped up to the plate to deliver on the promise of Anglo's incredible characters. The MARVELMAN PRIMER will help readers unfamiliar with that character get up to speed on the past, present and future of Marvelman stories. We'll check in with Mick Anglo, Neil Gaiman and others who contributed to this character’s history over the years. It was the news that swept the 2009 San Diego Comic-Con and the Marvelman Primer explains why! Featuring six all-new pinups of key Marvelman characters by superstar artists Mike Perkins, Doug Braithwaite, Miguel Angel Sepulveda, Jae Lee, Khoi Pham and Ben Oliver! --

Marvel Comics decided to revive Marvelman with the six-issue miniseries which actually reprints the earliest adventures of Marvelman and the Marvelman family of Young Marvelman and Kid Marvelman. Issue #1 was released on July 8, 2010. On July 21, 2010 the one-shot , was released, that, just like its solicitation says, tells a brief history of the character and introduces the superhero to new readers. I can only suppose this may be a drumbeater of sorts to an updated modern take on the Marvelman character and persona being planned by Marvel Comics. A really good and classic example of Golden Age Comics. The Primer (which is suggested to be read first) and the first three issues of the miniseries are packed in a RAR archive. Issues #4 to the recently-released issue #6 remain as individual CBZ files. All HQ Minutemen scans with multiple covers.

“A recluse Astro-Scientist discovers the key word to the Universe, one that can only be given to a Boy who is completely honest, studious, and of such integrity that he would only use it for the powers of good. He finds such a Boy in MICKY MORAN, a Newspaper Copy Boy, and treats him in a special machine which enables him to use the secret. Just before the Scientist dies, he tells MICKY the key word which is KIMOTA. Micky Moran remains as he was, but when he says the Key Word KIMOTA he becomes MARVELMAN, a man of such strength and powers that he is Invincible and Indestructible!” And with those words in 1954’s MARVELMAN #25 began the saga of one of the most storied characters ever to emerge from the British comics market. Now, thrill to the adventures of Marvelman, Young Marvelman and Kid Marvelman as they take on enemy agents, mad scientists and more in this “best of” series! -- With one word - KIMOTA! - newspaper copy boy Micky Moran becomes the invincible, indestructible Marvelman!
