Fantastic (comics)
''Fantastic'' was a weekly British comic book magazine published by Odhams Press under the Power Comics imprint. It first appeared on 18 February 1967, and with its 52nd issue on 10 February 1968 it merged with its sister title ''Terrific''. The 89th and final issue of ''Fantastic'' appeared on 7 September 1968, after which it was merged into ''Smash!''.
''Fantastic'' was different from the earlier Power Comics such as ''Smash!'' and ''Pow!'', which were essentially traditional ''Beano''-style British comic papers supplemented by a small amount of material reprinted from Marvel Comics. In contrast, ''Fantastic'' (and later ''Terrific'' as well) were more American in appearance, resembling the black-and-white comic anthologies of the time such as ''Creepy'' and ''Eerie''. However, they were aimed at a younger audience than such magazines (although an older audience than the ''Beano''-style British fare).
==The Launch of ''Fantastic''==
Following the successes of ''Wham!'' (1964) and ''Smash!'' (1966) Odhams were keen to expand their line of weekly ''Power Comics'' in 1967. In January they launched ''Pow!'' with 'Spider-Man' as the lead strip, and a month later saw the arrival of a comic that consisted almost entirely of Marvel reprints: ''Fantastic''.
''Fantastic'' No.1, which launched on Saturday February 11, 1967, had a different format to its three predecessors. Slightly smaller in size and on better paper, it featured a whopping 40 pages and a higher cover price (9d, compared to Smash's 7d for 28 pages). This made it three times more expensive than the 3d cover price of D C Thomson's perennials ''Beano'' and ''Dandy''. It could not sustain a profit in the increasingly crowded market of 1960s comics, but it did gain a faithful following, and served as an introduction to many of Marvel's superhero characters.
