Ahead of today’s solicitations release, Marvel Comics announces a slew of new Marvelman comics. It looks like they will be starting with reprints of the classic Marvelman material from the 1950’s. Since they worked with Neil Gaiman to secure the rights to the character, I’m assuming they’ll eventually reprint his material. The question remains as to who holds the rights to Alan Moore’s stories and whether or not Marvel can reprint them. I’m just happy to see the character return and am anticipating revisiting his early adventures!
Marvel is proud to announce the return of Marvelman to shelves everywhere with the release of Marvelman Classic Primer #1 in June! Who is the mysterious Marvelman? And just why is he one of the most enduring super heroes of all time? The answers arrives in this commemorative one-shot featuring interviews with creator Mick Anglo, superstar Neil Gaiman and more who contributed to this character’s history over the years! Plus, get all-new pin ups of key Marvelman characters by superstar artists Mike Perkins, Doug Braithwaite, Miguel Angel Sepulveda, Jae Lee, Khoi Pham and Ben Oliver!
