The #Marvel 1972 UK annual which hit the shops running up to Xmas 72 was farmed out to Fleetway (more famous for Whizzer & Chips!) it sadly re-printed stuff already to be found in MWOM but strangely did include a #Conan tale (Barry Smith) for some reason "Zukala's Daughter"

The FOOM call to arms in #SpiderManComicsWeekly #1 complete with Stan Lee's two penny's worth. 50p was the initial price for membership (10x the cover price of a UK #Marvel comic) I clearly remember cello taping my coin down to stop it shuffling about in the envelope!
