Thorpe &amp; Porter (UK)

1951 - 1979 In the 1950s Thorpe &amp; Porter was a British publisher who competed with the likes of L. Miller and Son to reprint US titles for the UK market. From 1959, Thorpe &amp; Porter were the sole distributor of both US DC and US Marvel comics in the UK. Marvel comics were issued with the covers altered (in the USA) to show a UK price instead of US price; whilst the cover month was removed. DC comics were franked with a circular UK price stamp, after their arrival. A few Marvels were also price-stamped in similar fashion. In the early 1960s, Thorpe &amp; Porter either acquired or distributed a number of Arnold Book Company&#39;s titles.
