The Marvel Action Hour

The Marvel Action Hour was a syndicated television block from Marvel Productions Ltd featuring animated adaptions of Marvel comic book heroes the Fantastic Four and Iron Man. The Marvel Action Hour debuted in 1994. The Marvel Action Hour lasted two seasons before being cancelled. The first half of the hour was an episode of Iron Man; the second half an episode of Fantastic Four . During the first season, Stan Lee was featured speaking before each show about characters in the following episode and what had inspired him to create them. The show underwent a notable modification when broadcast... on the BBC in the United Kingdom; because the BBC does not feature commercial breaks, the two shows that made up the Marvel Action Hour would actually only have totaled about forty minutes, and so episodes of the 1980s Incredible Hulk series were added between the two original shows to bring the whole bundle up to the promised hour in length. The Stan Lee segments were, however, dropped.
