1979: MARVEL COMIC APRIL COVER GALLERY (Marvel UK)

Here's another run of eye catching covers from the short-lived MARVEL COMIC.

The first April issue was the second of the "emergency" issues.  The London Bullpen would dispatch two issues at a time to their Irish printers so - in total - four editions (two SPIDER-MAN COMIC and two MARVEL COMIC) were lost by the courier.  Rather than loose their slot on the presses, Skinn and co. cobbled together these issues from standby material (most of which hadn't been reworked to fit the SKINN I more-panels-per-page format).

These ropey-looking issues (although the Vision cover is a corker) probably hammered more nails into MC just weeks after the prolonged distribution problems at the start of the year.
