[edit] A Marvel UK title?

Any more details on this? I've got most of the Marvel UK Night Raven material, as serialised in their anthologies (Marvel Superheroes, Daredevils)- but the only actual 'Night Raven' publication they ever did was, I think, the graphic novel (House of Cards - which, if memory serves, was originally supposed to be serialised in 'Strip' when it had finished running the Death's Head 'Body in Question' story... but Strip was cancelled before that happened, so its first appearance was in a single volume). --Mrph 20:10, 27 September 2006 (UTC)

As there's no confirmation of this, I'll revisit the category again. If it needs to be restored, please provide details.--Mrph 07:58, 5 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] No real mention of one of the most distinctive things about the publication history...

...which was that Night Raven was a text story with illustrations, not a comic, for almost all of its run in the various Marvel UK titles. All of the Alan Moore stuff (and most of the Jamie Delano material) was text, with an illustration (normally by Alan Davis) every couple of pages. It started as a comic, with the original short strips set in the 1920s/1930s - and returned to comics form with House of Cards, but almost everything in between was text... --Mrph 08:04, 5 October 2006 (UTC)
