Marvel UK reprint cover revealed

May 17th, 2005 | credit to Campi

A couple weeks back (see below) news came out about UK's Titan Books' plans to reprint the old Marvel UK comics, starting with volume one, A Hard Day's Fright. The book is now listed on Amazon.co.uk, with a SLP of a penny under 9 pounds. Even keener is the cover image, which suggests these will be an excellent addition to the two annuals Marvel UK published in 1989/1990. As mentioned previously, North American buyers should be able to find the book through their prefered bookshop (or Amazon.com) for around $9US.

Marvel UK reprints coming in October

May 3rd, 2005

As mentioned a couple of weeks back, Titan Publishing UK is going to be reprinting a collection of the old Marvel UK Real Ghostbusters, called A Hard Day's Fright. You may be familiar with the UK stories when they were run as pick-up stories at the back of NOW's Vol. 2 Real Ghostbusters comics. In the UK the collection is due in August, and word has come down that it will available here in North America in October. Amazon already has a listing for it, though you can ask your local book or comic shop to order it in for you by giving them the ISBN number and the name of the distributor - ISBN 1-84576-140-5, distributed by CDS.

Lots more from Titan Books!

April 6th, 2005

After contacting Titan Books I have a few things to share - First off, the cover as seen on Amazon.co.uk isn't the final cover art. And while Amazon does list the proper SRP of eight pounds ninty-nine (approx. $17US and $21CDN), they bobbled the release date by a month. Titan will be shipping the book June 24th. Besides collecting the four issues into one trade edition, Titan also says the book will feature "exclusive background features and a gallery." and "the 12 page Zeddemore factor story." Sounds like a soft cover edition of 88mph Studio's deluxe hard cover coming out soon.

And if that wasn't enough;

"We will also be releasing a children's title in August called Ghostbusters: A Hard Day's Fright. In this first volume, collecting the Real Ghostbusters comic and based on the smash-hit cartoon, creators including Dan Abnett (Majestic) and artist Anthony Williams (2000 AD) bring the zany fun of the cartoon series to the comics page!"

Titan Books out of the UK is fixing to re-publish 88mph Studio's Ghostbusters: Legion in one trade paperback. Besides a couple of online mentions at UK sci-fi sites, the edition has been listed at Amazon.co.uk, with an August 29th release date and a £8.99 cover price. It does not appear to be the same edition as the Legion collection due out soon. Stay tuned.
