Young Marvelman was a British Golden Age superhero comic book, published by L. Miller & Son in the United Kingdom between 1954 and 1963.

The lead character was originally created in 1954 by Mick Anglo as a replacement for Captain Marvel Jr due to Fawcett Publications ending the latter's titles following legal action by DC Comics.

Since 2009, the rights to the character have been licensed from Anglo by Marvel Comics, who have reprinted some of the vintage material under the original Young Marvelman name.

[4] However, after losing a landmark legal case against National Comics in 1952, Fawcett discontinued their superhero material, cutting off the supply of strips for L. Miller & Son.

In order to cut expenditure in resizing or modifying artwork from American publishers, L. Miller & Son retained the same dimensions as US comic books.

[1][5] Back-up features were either produced by Gower Street Studios or were from other series licensed by Miller, including Tom Moore's Billy Brig and the Pirates and Spanish science fiction hero Johnny Galaxia.

In-house humour strips such as Young Joey, The Friendly Soul and Flip and Flop were also used to fill single or half pages.

To keep the work on schedule Anglo adopted a system broadly similar to the "Marvel method" later used by Stan Lee - to avoid complicated scripts with overdetailed panel descriptions he would devise a plot outline, pass it to one of the studio's artists and then write dialogue and narration to fit the resulting pages of art.

Young's Merchandising Company of Sydney reprinted the titles for the Australian and New Zealand markets while oversized editions were released in both magazine and album formats in Italy.

[4][23] In 1960 they had dropped to a degree where L. Miller & Son switched the title to a monthly status and the contents to reprints, while the annuals would shrink in size and quality.

[2] Original cover-art was still created, though while Captain Marvel Jr's cape even made a reappearance one cover,[22] while another would be inexplicably rename the character as Marvelman Junior on the front only.

Moore's original proposal for the revived Young Marvelman renamed his human form as Richard Dawson; however the Dicky Dauntless name was eventually kept in place.

While Young Marvelman was part of the revived strip, the character was dead in the series' present and only appeared in flashbacks - including a one-off dialogue-free story written by Moore and drawn by John Ridgway, published in Warrior #12.
