Yeah it is, issues 7-17. Volume 2, though, from the 80s.

Also, for about 10 issues of that title, some unique Captain Britain stuff.

My first comics were UK children's comics, but my first Marvel comic was in 1972, when I was 6 - The Mighty World of Marvel # 1. This was a UK weekly Marvel reprint comic. In general it reprinted issues of The Hulk, Daredevil and FF from the 60s. In one of the later issues they even reprinted the 1st Wolverine appearance.

It really starts to get unreal when you consider how many PAGES you've read! Now I'm only at 195 issues, plus probably a dozen or so out of the modern age, so let's round to about 210, and if we assume about 20 pages each, that's 4200 pages! So at 800 issues, we could assume you've read somewhere in the vicinity of 16,000 pages of comics!  It really starts to get unreal when you consider how many PAGES you've read!

It really doesn't seem like 800. They'll be days when I knock out 8-10. Then I'll get busy and not read for a few days (or when I need time to..umm.. find some comics that aren't on MDCU). It's great for me since I don't have the time to read books like I want to. 20 pages and I'm done? Awesome.
