Marvel Comics Super Special

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Marvel Comics Super Special was a series of one-off comic books published by Marvel Comics from 1977 to 1985. The first issue featured the rock band Kiss in an original adventure. It also had the band members mix their blood with printing ink in a gimmick exploited by Marvel and Stan Lee in particular.

The first few issues featured either established Marvel titles which were not printed elsewhere, (Weirdworld, Star-Lord ) or film adaptations. Each film adaptation normally came with features on the film as back up material.

From issue 14 the series settled into only containing film adaptations. These were normally reprinted without the feature material as two to four issue mini-series by Marvel. The series was cancelled with issue 41 in 1985.
