Oh sweet!! I customised 4 mini figures to be like a band i was in, we even had a lego 1953 Ford pick up truck with the band's logo on the door, if i can find a picture I'll share it😉
Marvelman has indeed visited MB before, in his rebadged guise of Miracleman and rebirth at the hands of the great Alan Moore. Marvel sued Mick Anglo over the use of yhe Marvel name, so he had to be re-named to continue the franchise in contemporary comics. After Moore abandoned the series, Neil Gaiman took up the helm for the Silver Age, but the final volume of the series The Dark Age has yet to see publication. A great character and well worth tracking down. Bill
Captain Marvel, art by C. C. Beck in 1940 was a comic reprinted in the UK. When the comic was discontinued in the US the British publisher continued with a reworked version created by Mick Angelo, MARVELMAN. The present Marvel Comics spent lots of money on lawyers to obtain the sole use of the name Captain Marvel for their version.
