It’s written by the original creator, yes?
Death’s Head, the origial, returns to Marvel UK newstand kids-aimed comic, Marvel Heroes #33. Hulk Vs Death’s Head, written by Marvel HEroes regular (and top bloke) Ferg Handley and Death’s Head co-creator, Simon Furman, with art by Simon Williams and John Ross.The comic is out on March 24th.
Also, a character created for Britain’s short-lasting original Spider-Man stories in the eighties (a stop gap to replace the reprinted black costume stories if they proved unpopular) Assassin-8 returns, fighting Captain Britain and Captain America, written by Freg Handley and drawn by Assassin-8 creator Mike Collins (aldo of a certain Royal Wedding comic book)
Woo !

Someone remind me when it comes out, please.  Panini could have just bought Simon William's self-published comic and saved everyone the work. (I imagine that's where the idea came from.) |

Is this out yet?
March is turning into a great month for old DH. IDW's Classic Doctor reprint #2 contains a coloured version of his first meeting with the 7th Doctor.

End of the month this comes out. However, I'm pretty sure that the current issue has part one of this two part story in it. Death's Head himself just doesn't show til part two.

Which story is that? I can only think of 1-part encounters.

It's a two parter? You'd think someone would have metioned that. I hope I can still get hold of the current issue.

I checked today and the current issue has a Luke Cage/Iron Fist story, not Hulk.

Ah, I see. I never picked it up. So parts one and two will both be in the same issue.

Hehehe. Reading that's made me all happy.
I only just got around to reading the Deaths Head Vs Hulk I got at AA when I heard about this issue. I think the original is maybe a little better thanks to the final cameo, but this is still great fun.

Recieved and read last night. Smiled all the way (POOM!) through.
It was great seeing ol' Tin-Head again, and having him written by Furman after so long really brought home ohow much of a well-meaning but rather cheap imitation the version who appeared in S.W.O.R.D. (SLASH!) was. But given how disappointing Death's Head 2 and 3.0 were, S.W.O.R.D.'s version was far from a terrible experience.
Two new appearances in two years, after almost 20 years with none... might this signal a regular return of our favourite fund-chaser, or is it just a (BLIP!) on the radar?

Furman wrote him like he'd never gone away. Williams' art on it is great - he really should be getting bigger gigs. A great job on colouring from Cardy and Nicholson, too, far better than the garish flat computer colouring that UK (child-orientated) comics seem to favour. I liked this sentence on the profile page: "He's journeyed to a dimension inhabited by giant robots, encountered a meddling time-traveller and even visited Earth in the year 8162!" That's clearly a shout-out to us old fogies. And how cool is it to see Death's Head on a cover on the UK newstand again?! |

Usually see the comic on shelves but I haven't seen this issue yet. Hope it turns up locally soon.
