1989: WILLIAM TELL ANNUAL (Marvel UK)

MARVEL UK invested a surprising amount of effort into their tie-in to the barely-noticed WILLIAM TELL TV show circa 1989.

They came close to launching a fortnightly title based on the show but, despite running House Ads, plans were scrapped at the last minute and the already-completed material turned-up in THE MARVEL BUMPER COMIC instead.

Those strips were also compiled into a one-shot graphic novel.

There was also a one-shot special which reprinted, from the Bumper Comic, the leftovers not collected in the graphic novel.

And, finally, there was also this hardback annual, published in September 1989, which included strips and text stories that didn't appear anywhere else.
