UPDATED - Captain Planet and the planeteers

I've now acquired some copies of Captain Planet so in red I've added details of writers, artists etc

Prompted by a question on a facebook group together I've been inspired to look into the 'Captain Planet and the planeteers' comic...I don't have any copies myself so I've scoured t'internet for the images below...Marvel US put out a 12-issue series but for Marvel UK I've only got up to issue 4 so far - were there more? Let me know! 

Captain Planet and the planeteers, Marvel UK, issue 1, cover dated 12th October 1991
cover by Mario Capaldi and John Burns
The single story is called 'A hero for Earth' and is labelled as 'Stan Lee presents' so this sounds like a US reprint to me
Writers = Barry Dutter & Jim Salicrup
Pencils = José Delbo
Inker = Mike DeCarlo
Letterer = Jim Massara
Colour = Brad Vancata 


Captain Planet and the planeteers, Marvel UK, issue 2, cover dated 26th October 1991
Mario Capaldi on cover art duties
Story 1 = A hero for Earth - no credits but assume it's as per issue 1 (above) 
Story 2 = Toxic Terror!; story by Ian Rimmer, art by Mario Capaldi, lettering by Cie, colouring by Louise Cassell


Captain Planet and the planeteers, Marvel UK, issue 3, cover dated 9th November 1991
cover not to hand

Captain Planet and the planeteers, Marvel UK, issue 4, cover dated 23rd November 1991
Mario Capaldi and John Burns on cover art duties
Story 1 = 'Smog gets in your eyes' [continued from issue 3], script by Barry Dutter and Jim Salicrup; art by Jose Delbo & Stephen Baskerville; lettering by Jim Massara; colouring by Sarra Mossoff.

Story 2 = 'Carbon copy' [continued from issue 3], script by Ian Rimmer; art by Mario Capaldi and Bambos Georgiou; lettering by Cie; colouring by Helen Nally

Captain Planet and the planeteers, Marvel UK, holiday special
Hmmm, where did they get that idea for a cover from?
Published August 1992
The contents are a single story 'If you can't nuke em...join 'em'...script by Barry Dutter; pencils by Pat Broderick; inks by Bruce Patterson & Ralp Cabrera; letters by John Costanza; colours by Sarra Mossoff; story editor Rob Takar

And Tim Perkins worked on the annual (and he also worked on a colouring book and the colouring & activity book)



I posted the above in a Facebook group and John Michael Burns (renowned colourist and nephew of artist John M Burns) was kind enought to make a comment on the post...
