<p><b>Alan Class Comics</b> was a British <a href="Comics" title="Comics">comics</a> publishing company that operated between 1959 and 1989. The company produced <a href="Comics_anthology" title="Comics anthology">anthology</a> titles, reprinting comics stories from many U.S. publishers of the 1940s to 1960s in a <a href="Black_and_white" title="Black and white">black and white</a> <a href="Digest_size" title="Digest size">digest size</a> format for a UK audience. During the 1960s and 1970s, these reprints were the main medium through which British children were introduced to American monster and mystery comics, as well as most non-<a href="DC_Comics" title="DC Comics">DC</a> or Marvel superheroes.

</p><p>The various Alan Class titles contained reprints of stories originally from such U.S. comics publishers as <a href="Timely_Comics" title="Timely Comics">Timely</a>, <a href="Atlas_Comics" title="Atlas Comics">Atlas</a> (and their later incarnation, <a href="Marvel_Comics" title="Marvel Comics">Marvel Comics</a>)<sup id="cite_ref-CBR_1-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-CBR-1"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>1<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> <a href="American_Comics_Group" title="American Comics Group">American Comics Group</a> (ACG), <a href="Charlton_Comics" title="Charlton Comics">Charlton Comics</a>, <a href="Archie_Comics" title="Archie Comics">Archie Comics</a> (and their <a href="Red_Circle_Comics" class="mw-redirect" title="Red Circle Comics">Red Circle Comics</a> and MLJ imprints), <a href="Fawcett_Comics" title="Fawcett Comics">Fawcett Comics</a>, <a href="Lev_Gleason_Publications" title="Lev Gleason Publications">Lev Gleason Publications</a>, and Sterling Comics, as well as <a href="King_Features" class="mw-redirect" title="King Features">King Features</a> comics and newspaper strips. Included in these reprints were many early mystery, superhero, and monster stories by artists such as <a href="Steve_Ditko" title="Steve Ditko">Steve Ditko</a> and <a href="Jack_Kirby" title="Jack Kirby">Jack Kirby</a> that are now regarded as classics of the 1950s and early 1960s.

</p><p>Although Alan Class put out more than 25 titles in all, the company's six core titles — <i>Astounding Stories</i>,<sup id="cite_ref-CBR_1-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-CBR-1"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>1<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> <i>Creepy Worlds</i>, <i>Secrets of the Unknown</i>, <i>Sinister Tales</i>, <i>Suspense Stories</i>, and <i>Uncanny Tales</i> — lasted almost the entire publishing history of the company.

</p>

<div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="History">History</h2></div>

<p>Alan Class (born in <a href="London" title="London">London</a>, England, 21 July 1937)<sup id="cite_ref-interview_2-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-interview-2"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>2<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> began as an importer of <a href="Remaindered_book" title="Remaindered book">remaindered</a> copies of American movie, romance, and detective magazines for UK distribution. (After <a href="World_War_II" title="World War II">World War II</a>, the U.K. was intent on promoting homegrown publishers, and thus banned the <i>direct</i> importation of <a href="United_States" title="United States">American</a> periodicals.)<sup id="cite_ref-Chibnall_3-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Chibnall-3"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>3<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup>

</p><p>To avoid the cost, supply, and importation difficulties he had encountered, in 1958 Class set up a publishing business, <b>Alan Class and Co. Ltd</b>, to produce his own magazines, and entered into an agreement with an American comic and comic strip syndication company for the rights to reproduce U.S. comic books and strips under their control for a U.K audience.<sup id="cite_ref-interview_2-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-interview-2"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>2<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> (Coincidentally, in 1959, the U.K. lifted the previous ban on importing foreign publications.)<sup id="cite_ref-Chibnall_3-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Chibnall-3"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>3<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup>

</p><p>The company's first offering was the one-shot <i>Race for the Moon</i> (1959), anthologizing <a href="Harvey_Comics" title="Harvey Comics">Harvey</a> science fiction reprints. Other one-shots and short series followed, and in the summer of 1962, the first of the Alan Class core titles, <i>Creepy Worlds</i> debuted; followed shortly thereafter by the debut of another long-running title, <i>Secrets of the Unknown</i>. Core titles <i>Suspense Stories</i> and <i>Uncanny Tales</i> debuted in 1963, <i>Sinister Tales</i> in 1964, and finally <i>Astounding Stories</i> in 1966.

</p><p>In 1963, Alan Class bought the inventory of <a href="L._Miller_%26_Son%2C_Ltd." title="L. Miller & Son, Ltd.">L. Miller & Son, Ltd.</a>, a UK publisher since the 1940s that had also reprinted many U.S. comics in black-and-white format. This purchase included the <a href="Asbestos" title="Asbestos">asbestos</a> printing plates from which Miller had produced their comics.<sup id="cite_ref-Depelley2_4-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Depelley2-4"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>4<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> However, it is unclear what inventory titles this gave Alan Class. Many of the companies that Miller had published material from, such as Charlton and Fawcett, had already been reprinted by Class; and most of the Fawcett superhero material in which Miller had specialized — <a href="Captain_Marvel_(DC_Comics)" class="mw-redirect" title="Captain Marvel (DC Comics)">Captain Marvel</a>, <a href="Captain_Marvel_Junior" class="mw-redirect" title="Captain Marvel Junior">Captain Marvel Jr.</a> and the rest of the <a href="Marvel_Family" title="Marvel Family">Marvel Family</a> especially — were not reprinted as a result of the long-running <a href="National_Comics_Publications%2C_Inc._v._Fawcett_Publications%2C_Inc." title="National Comics Publications, Inc. v. Fawcett Publications, Inc.">legal case between National/D.C. and Fawcett</a> over Captain Marvel.

</p><p>Alan Class Comics lost the right to its leased Marvel Comics characters after 1966, when <a href="Odhams_Press" title="Odhams Press">Odhams Press</a> began publishing its <a href="Power_Comics" title="Power Comics">Power Comics</a> line in January 1967, and licensed the Marvel Comics superheroes for their own titles. There was some overlap, with both companies reprinting Marvel superhero stories for some time.<sup id="cite_ref-CBR_1-2" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-CBR-1"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>1<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> The available reprint material was reduced even further when, sometime between 1968 and 1971, <a href="King_Features_Syndicate" title="King Features Syndicate">King Features Syndicate</a> sued Alan Class over publishing rights to its titles and characters, including <a href="The_Phantom" title="The Phantom">The Phantom</a>. As a result of this diminution of the accessible stories, by the early 1970s the Alan Class titles began to issue more and more reprints of material already printed in earlier issues.<sup id="cite_ref-CBR_1-3" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-CBR-1"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>1<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup>

</p>

<div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Demise_and_legacy">Demise and legacy</h3></div>

<p>By the late 1980s, slow sales and distribution problems, combined with the rise of the <a href="Direct_market" title="Direct market">specialist comic shop</a> and the decline of newsagent purchases, together with the easy availability of new U.S. comics and back issues, signaled the end of the line for the business.<sup id="cite_ref-CBR_1-4" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-CBR-1"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>1<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> As Class himself said, "The reality was ... costs were escalating, sales were falling — Marvels were on everybody's wish-list, and my comics were at 55p which I didn’t feel could be increased — enough was enough!"<sup id="cite_ref-interview_2-2" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-interview-2"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>2<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup>

</p><p>Alan Class Comics shut down in 1989. During 30 years of publishing, the company produced 26 black-and-white anthology reprint titles comprising 1,472 individual issues (plus four issues of the <i><a href="Ally_Sloper" title="Ally Sloper">Ally Sloper</a></i> comic magazine).

</p><p>On 15 May 2005, 30th Century Comics in London announced that it had obtained the rights to sell Alan Class's personal collection, including the original printing plates for the comics range.<sup id="cite_ref-5" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-5"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>5<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup>

<p>Alan Class Comics began as 68-page titles, containing a mix of stories reproduced in black and white with colour covers, and selling for 1 <a href="Shilling" title="Shilling">shilling</a>. Each issue measured 235mm × 185mm (9<style data-mw-deduplicate="TemplateStyles:r1154941027">

</p><p>By the late 1960s, the company's standard 68-page format began to vary, with page counts ranging from 48 to 100 pages, and cover prices from 10p to 55p, with the company's six long-running titles settling for a while at 48 pages for 25p, before continuing an inexorable upward increase in price to 55p in the 1980s.

</p>

<div class="mw-heading mw-heading4"><h4 id="Covers">Covers</h4></div>

<p>Across Alan Class Comics titles, the cover art ranged from only slightly adapted versions of the original comics from which the stories came to new covers, many produced from adapted pages or panels within the stories or pasted-up montages of various panels. Many of these covers were originally illustrated by classic comics artists of the time, especially Ditko and Kirby. Since the books were wider than the American originals, all the cover art was visible where American printings were cut-off. The reason for this was by the 1960s the width of American comics had shrunk, while artists continued to use the same size artboards. As a result, American covers from this era look cut-off while Alan Class covers didn't. Variations on these covers were often used more than once across the titles, as were the stories.

</p>

<div class="mw-heading mw-heading4"><h4 id="Issue_dating_(or_lack_thereof)">Issue dating (or lack thereof)</h4></div>

<p>To complicate things further, none of the Alan Class Comics line had anything to identify their date of issue on the cover, (or inside the comic in many cases), and many were not even numbered. This was a deliberate company policy to extend the shelf life of the titles: Alan Class Comics often remained on the racks longer than dated issues from other companies. Additionally, it led Alan Class to devise a system to maximize profits: warehouse stocks of unsold comics were returned to him; these were later re-issued over a number of years' summer seasons to capture the market for reading material during the summer holidays. As Class said in an interview:

</style><blockquote class="templatequote"><p>"Every copy was of value to me, and some wholesale houses wanted to 'shred' unsold copies.

<div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Superheroes">Superheroes</h3></div>

<p>As well as monster, horror and mystery story reprints, many Alan Class comics featured superheroes. Early Marvel Comics tales of <i><a href="Fantastic_Four" title="Fantastic Four">Fantastic Four</a></i> and <i><a href="The_Amazing_Spider-Man" title="The Amazing Spider-Man">The Amazing Spider-Man</a></i> by <a href="Jack_Kirby" title="Jack Kirby">Jack Kirby</a> and <a href="Steve_Ditko" title="Steve Ditko">Steve Ditko</a> respectively, <i><a href="Giant-Man" title="Giant-Man">Giant-Man</a></i>, <i><a href="Ant-Man" title="Ant-Man">Ant-Man</a> and <a href="Wasp_(comics)" class="mw-redirect" title="Wasp (comics)">The Wasp</a></i>, the <i><a href="Human_Torch" title="Human Torch">Human Torch</a></i>, <i><a href="S.H.I.E.L.D." title="S.H.I.E.L.D.">S.H.I.E.L.D.</a></i> by <a href="Jim_Steranko" title="Jim Steranko">Jim Steranko</a>, odd issues of <i><a href="Iron_Man" title="Iron Man">Iron Man</a></i>, <i><a href="X-Men" title="X-Men">X-Men</a></i>, <i><a href="Captain_America" title="Captain America">Captain America</a></i> and <i><a href="Doctor_Strange" title="Doctor Strange">Doctor Strange</a></i> were published in random order with no regard to continuity — any references to next issue's story in the original run were often covered over before printing, and there was no guarantee that any character would appear in consecutive issues of a title, or even in the same title. (One of the few exceptions to this was when Alans Class' <i>Creepy Worlds</i> #32-38 reprinted nearly the first Fantastic Four stories in sequence, missing only #7).

Only characters published by National Comics (now <a href="DC_Comics" title="DC Comics">DC Comics</a>) were unrepresented, as the syndicated merchandising deal did not include them.

</p><p>The balance of each comic was made up of short stories from other comic book titles and the occasional text story. Superheroes did not necessarily get cover billing in any issue — they were treated with the same importance as any other story.

</p>

<div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Short-run/one-off_issues">Short-run/one-off issues</h3></div>

<p>A number of Alan Class titles were un-numbered short-run or one-off issues. These were experimental titles testing the market for different genres, such as <a href="Romance_comics" title="Romance comics">romance</a> (<i>My Secret Confessions</i>, which anthologised <a href="American_Comics_Group" title="American Comics Group">American Comics Group</a> love story reprints, and <i>Uncensored Love</i>), <a href="War_comics" title="War comics">war</a> titles (<i>Journey Into Danger</i> #1-8, reprinting Atlas war stories, and two issues of <i>Tales Of Action</i>), and <a href="Western_comics" title="Western comics">westerns</a> (three issues of <i>Blazing Trails</i> featuring <a href="Charlton_Comics" title="Charlton Comics">Charlton</a> and <a href="Fawcett_Publications" title="Fawcett Publications">Fawcett</a> western stories, and one issue of <i>Hell-Fire Raiders</i> (1966) reprinting Fawcett <a href="Tom_Mix" title="Tom Mix">Tom Mix</a>, <a href="Tex_Ritter" title="Tex Ritter">Tex Ritter</a> and <a href="Lash_LaRue" title="Lash LaRue">Lash LaRue</a> stories). None of these went on to become longer-running titles;<sup id="cite_ref-interview_2-3" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-interview-2"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>2<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> Alan Class would later say of the whole line, "Only the suspense/space stories stood the test of time."<sup id="cite_ref-7" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-7"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>7<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup>

</p><p>Class also issued several short-run titles in the humour and crime genres. There were five issues of <i>Just Dennis</i> (1965), with reprints of the American version of <a href="Dennis_the_Menace_(U.S.)" class="mw-redirect" title="Dennis the Menace (U.S.)">Dennis the Menace</a> together with <a href="Atomic_Mouse" title="Atomic Mouse">Atomic Mouse</a> and Atom the Cat reprints (the series was not titled <i>Dennis the Menace</i> to avoid copyright issues with <a href="DC_Thomson" title="DC Thomson">DC Thomson</a>'s British <i><a href="Dennis_the_Menace_(UK)" class="mw-redirect" title="Dennis the Menace (UK)">Dennis the Menace</a></i> character), and two issues of <i>Super Mouse</i> featuring Charlton humour reprints. Alan Class' one attempt at a crime comics — <i>Tales of the Underworld</i>, featuring Charlton and Fawcett crime stories — only lasted 10 issues.

</p>

<div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Science_fiction">Science fiction</h3></div>

<p>Although many of the reprints scattered across the successful anthologies were science-fiction stories, titles themed solely on science fiction were comparative failures. Class tried first with one issue of <i>Race for the Moon</i> (1959), anthologising <a href="Harvey_Comics" title="Harvey Comics">Harvey</a> science fiction reprints, followed by <i>Outer Space</i> (1961), featuring mainly Charlton reprints, which ran only 10 issues, and <i>Race Into Space</i> the same year, which again only lasted one issue. The same year Class published probably the only science fiction title that was a deliberate one-off — <i>Space Adventures Presents Space Trip To The Moon</i> (1961), which was mainly a reprint of Fawcett's 1950 one-shot <i>Destination Moon</i>, itself an adaptation of the <a href="Destination_Moon_(film)" title="Destination Moon (film)">1950 film</a> of the same name with short story fillers. It is possible that this was part of Class's license for the Charlton inventory, as that company had reprinted the tale in <i><a href="Space_Adventures" title="Space Adventures">Space Adventures</a></i> #20 (March 1956). Later in the 1960s, the science fiction title <i>Out of This World</i> ran for two separate series, the first run of 23 issues — advertised as a "new Mystery Space series" — mainly reprinting Charlton stories (including the "Tales of the Mysterious Traveler" by <a href="Steve_Ditko" title="Steve Ditko">Steve Ditko</a>), and a 10-issue run in the 1970s.

</p>

<div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Ally_Sloper"><i>Ally Sloper</i></h3></div>

<p>The list of Alan Class Comics titles in themselves did not directly reflect that Class himself was interested in comics above and beyond his publishing them. However, in late 1976/early 1977, Alan Class published four issues of <i>Ally Sloper</i>, a monthly magazine in a totally different style from other Alan Class publications.

</p><p>Edited by comics historian <a href="Denis_Gifford" title="Denis Gifford">Denis Gifford</a> and named after one of the <a href="Ally_Sloper" title="Ally Sloper">earliest comic characters</a>, <i>Ally Sloper</i> demonstrated great affection for old British comics, comic strips, and artists. With the cover <a href="Tagline" title="Tagline">tagline</a>, "First British comic hero 1867, First British comic magazine 1976," <i>Ally Sloper</i> contained an eclectic mix of strips and articles. Some were in the style of British comic strips from the early 20th century, while others were created by classic artists such as <a href="Frank_Hampson" title="Frank Hampson">Frank Hampson</a>'s "<a href="Dan_Dare" title="Dan Dare">Dawn O'Dare</a>" and <a href="Frank_Bellamy" title="Frank Bellamy">Frank Bellamy</a>, who provided <i>Swade</i>, a three-page black-and-white wordless western story, for issue #1 (his last work as he died before completing the second strip). Also featured were newer British artists such as <a href="Kevin_O'Neill_(comics)" title="Kevin O'Neill (comics)">Kevin O'Neill</a> (issue #2) and <a href="Hunt_Emerson" title="Hunt Emerson">Hunt Emerson</a> (issue #4).
