Heroes Unlimited

Originally the Merry Marvel Fanzine which was the first British comics fanzine published (late1966"Comics and Fandom: Where is Tony Roche?" - by Harry McAvinchey at paddycool.com - January 2011 (via Wayback Jul 10/11)), the zine was rebranded "Heroes Unlimited" after 3 issues and expanded to cover comics generally, not just Marvel Comics properties. The zine was printed and edited by teenager Anthony Roche out of Dublin, Ireland and is considered the origin of comics fandom in Ireland and the UK.
Roche was inspired by American comic zines - specifically Alter Ego - and developed MMF along the same lines. 
With two co-editors, Peter Simpson and Peter C. Phillips assisting with the writing, and Paul Neary and Ken Simpson providing the art from issue 3 onwards, MMF gew from 3 foolscap pages to triple that. Then in July 1967, the zine was re-named Heroes Unlimited (the name was suggested by Gerald Cleaver and voted on by the readers) and expanded, with issues published semi-regularly over the next year. 
With Tony's beginning university in Fall 1968, there was less time and inspiration to continue the zine; for issue #6 he announced an expansion of the subject-matter to beyond comics and declared war on the concept of a schedule. 
Three issues of Merry Marvel Fanzine and seven issues of Heroes Unlimited were published between 1966 and 1969. An eighth issue, which was promised in the editorial of Issue #7 for October 1969, was never published, After Tony posted ads in Fantasy Advertiser and Oracle declaring H.U. defunct, on hearing the news his co-editors/co-writers called a meeting to discuss the possibility of carrying on with issue #8. Phillips was unable to make it and the momentum was lostLetter from Peter C. Phillips to Anthony Roche, July 25, 1970, published in Journey Planet #41, page 66. Dez Skinn also planned an issue #8, running an ad declaring that Oracle #13-14 would include a final issue of HU. He also wrote to Tony at the time, requesting his help. In later years, neither could remember any of this.
Following the closure of HU and his withdrawal from fandom, Tony was unheard-from for decades, until James Bacon (co-editor of Journey Planet) began searching for him following a radio program in 2008 about Irish comics fandom which mentioned a zine with art by Paul Neary. In 2016 Bacon was part of the bid committee for the 2019 Worldcon in Dublin, and a copy of MMF #2 was posted on the committee's blog. Tony saw it and met James at Octocon 2016 and a special MMF and HU issue of Journey Planet was released in 2016 (Issue #31). A suggestion from Pádraig Ó Méalóid and Chris Garcia, (the other JP editors) in 2017 resulted in the December 2018 release of a 132-page retrospective published as Journey Planet #41 Presents: Heroes Unlimited #8, marking the 50th anniversary of the first MMF issue (and possibly breaking the record for "longest delay between issues" for a fanzine with 49 years!).
==Merry Marvel Fanzine - Issue #1==
MMF Issue #1 was released in December 1966, edited and published by Tony Roche. It was 3 foolscap pages folded over, creating nine pages. The first page included a statement from Stan Lee, giving permission for the 'zine:
The contents were mostly three pages of introduction to the zine, printed in blue ink.
