Retrieved on 5 September 2009.〕 The company publishes comic books in Argentina, Brazil, Chile, France, Germany, Hungary, Italy, Mexico, Portugal, Spain and the United Kingdom, as well as manga in several non-English-speaking countries through the ''Planet Manga'' publishing division. In the United Kingdom, Panini Comics prints its Collectors' Edition (CE) line, which consists of reprints of Marvel US Comics. These are usually 76 pages long (with the occasional 100 page special), and the current cost of the comics is £3.50. A subscription offer is also available, and each comic is published every 28 days, with the exception of ''Astonishing Spider-Man'' which has been published fortnightly since volume 2. ==History== It obtained the Marvel UK license in 1995, enabling it to publish reprinted American Marvel Comics titles, and is also the company responsible for printing the ''Doctor Who Magazine''. Panini Comics, had been part of Marvel Europe, and had already been reprinting American material across Europe for several years. Thanks to this licensing deal, reprints of American Marvel Comics material were continued in the UK by Panini from the mid-1990s. Each book contained approximately two or three Marvel US strips in one issue with possibly a "classic" comic printed as a substitute for a comic in the current run, whilst being priced at a reasonable level. Initially the lineup consisted of only ''Astonishing Spider-Man'' and ''Essential X-Men'' and followed the continuity of the US comics, however it was approximately two–three years behind the current run in America. In addition to reprinting the mainstream US comics, Panini also published a monthly (later every three weeks) over-sized comic, entitled ''The Spectacular Spider-Man'', for younger readers to accompany ''Spider-Man: The Animated Series'', which began broadcasting in the UK in the mid-90s. Initially, the stories were simply reprints of the US comics based on the series, but eventually the title moved to all-new UK-originated stories, marking the first Marvel UK material featuring classic Marvel characters to be produced since early 1994. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Panini Comics」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
