Atlantic special

A short-lived but ambitious Swedish anthology from Atlantic Förlags AB, Atlantic Special ran for eleven issues between 1981 and 1982, offering European readers a curated selection of American Marvel stories. Anchored by the talents of writers like Chris Claremont, Steve Gerber, and Bill Mantlo, and illustrated by such artists as John Byrne, Dave Cockrum, and Don Heck, the series served as a vital bridge for fans eager to follow the epic X-Men sagas and other superhero adventures of the era. Though its run was brief, it remains a fondly remembered snapshot of early-80s Marvel storytelling presented for an international audience.
