Ah, thank you. I did have that Super Powers Annual (lost to time) - and wondered why Marvel UK published it. In an anomaly that could have rocked the space-time continuum, Marvel UK also published, in the early 90s, a Star Trek: The Next Generation title that reprinted the TNG comics that DC were publishing in the US! There is no current licensee for DC in the UK thanks to Titan's woeful handling of the licence: Concern Over Titan’s UK Reprints Of DC Comics Titles

It seems to have derailed Titan's comics line completely. Sad.

I would suspect that those specific instances were the license holder selling reprint rights to Marvel UK, rather than DC. usually, the license holder owns the material outright, which is why Dark Horse could reprint the Marvel Star wars and Conan (and others). I even have a Star Wars t-shirt with a Marvel Comics cover, with the Marvel logo removed..

Jacket potato? Not exactly; we do odd things to baked potatoes; but, the description seems to suggest a different consistency and topping varietes.
American traditional dishes tend to be a melange of cultural influences, depending on the region. If there was a stronger ethnic population, for a longer time, those foods will tend to be closer to the original. For instance, I live in East Central Illinois (where my mother grew up) and it was heavily German (my grandmother's maiden name was Stroud). The rest were mostly English; but, the German food aspect is much stronger. You can find traditional german hams and sausages, and restaurants that serve things like hossenfeffer.
It was probably stronger when there were more defined ethnic neighborhoods of cities and regions, within states, during the bigger European immigration eras. After that and after WW2, Americans became more mobile and things really get mixed together.

I don't understand what you are saying here. Sorry this is somewhat vague to me. I was sarcasticaly referring to the fact that your earlier post was, in fact, blithely insulting to my country and everyone in it. Is that clearer? Okay, no problems ... understood.

After that and after WW2, Americans became more mobile and things really get mixed together. One of my favorite books is about the different waves of immigration to America during the colonial period. Each wave came from a distinct part of England/Scotland and carried a particular subset of English/Scottish culture with it. Those regional differences persist today and show up as "What is your favorite color?" and "What do you name your kids?" and many other things, including food preparation.

I even have a Star Wars t-shirt with a Marvel Comics cover, with the Marvel logo removed.. Which cover is it, just out of interest? I have a t-shirt with the cover of SW issue #81 on it. It's my all-time favourite issue of the series.

It's my all-time favourite issue of the series. #52 That's a similar t-shirt; but, mine was a faux distressed one, from Walmart, on rather thin material (Retail around $5.99). It was official Lucasfilm merchandise, done on the cheap, for Walmart. Where the Marvel Comics Group masthead was it says "The Mighty Vader" The price sticker is as on the original comic; but, the Spider-Man head shot, in the UPC box (Direct Market editions didn't have bar codes, for a few years) is replaced by one of Vader. The on I show here might have been done for a higher-end store, with a non-distressed look. I also have this very 80s-styled one, from Target.... I couldn't pass up a very 80s neon Boba Fett! Someone needs to do one of Leia, as Nagel image (in the slave girl outfit, I suppose).

The jacket on a potato is just the skin, jacket potato means baked in the skin. I'm not sure if there's any other way. We like them fluffy inside and crispy outside.

#52 By coincidence, we've just been briefly discussing this issue over in the Star Wars review thread.

1975 saw three titles launched. First up, The Savage Sword of Conan: The Super-Heroes: And The Titans (which used the landscape format):

In late 1973, Marvel UK launched The Avengers: In Quebec many Marvel comics were translated and published by Éditions Héritage, in black and white but with the same format as in the United States... except for the Avengers. That one title had a noticeably larger size than the other titles, had Dr. Strange as a back-up feature, and the B&W art was enhanced with zip tones. I suspect that it may have been reproduced from the British version instead of the American one. Was the book a bit larger in the U.K.?
