Can
you help me identify this mag? I found
it among some old comics in my parents' loft. Can't remember where it came from... As you
can see it's a British comic (it sold for one shilling...), It appears to have been
published by Miller Comics, in London, around 1964. And that's about all I know.
If anyone out there can tell me something more
about the comic or the publisher, please contact me.
April 2000 - Thanks to Paul Green at the www.ukcollectibles.co.uk site for this feedback: MYSTIC ran from 1961-66 (1-66). It was 68 pgs and included reprints from various U.S. titles. Your example is from the Marvel comic Fantastic Four. L.Miller published many comics in the fifties and early sixties including various Western titles, Tarzan and Marvelman (UK original strip). You may be interested to know I am just about to publish (along with Laura Taylor) GREEN'S GUIDE to TV, Music and Comic Book Annuals. Check out our site. ...and from Ian Jarvis
Hello there Martin.
Yes, the comic you have there (Mystic)
used to reprint US Marvel stories for the UK market. There were several
doing this around the same time (one actually called Marvel)
usually in black and white and often chopping up the stories to spread
them across two or three issues. I collect Spiderman
myself and have groaning filing cabinets to show for it. You
talk about Look In on your site. Yeah - great comic, but
looking back, it's a all a little cringe-making now. I seem to
remember David Cassidy foiling bank robberies and kidnaps every week
just in time for his gig in front of screaming fans. I was a big,
secret fan of Sammie Winmill (the fringed blonde in the Tomorrow People
who took sweetness to toxic levels) and used to snip pictures out of Look
In to gaze at with a torch under the bedclothes - ah, happy days.
I notice you have an inactivated Frank Bellamy
link on your site too. I'd love to get hold of the old Garth books or
even find a Garth site (or Frank Bellamy or Martin Asbury site) on the
net. Don't know if you know of any? There were several Garth annuals
around in the seventies, but I don't know where I'd find them now.
Ah well Keep well and
keep up the good work
