''Pow!'' was a weekly British comic book magazine published by Odhams Press in 1967 and 1968 from their headquarters at 64 Long Acre, London. Part of their Power Comics imprint, it was printed on newsprint stock, in black-and-white except for its colour front and back covers, and initially comprised 28 pages. ''Pow!'' first appeared on 21 January 1967. With its 53rd issue, dated 13 January 1968, it merged with its sister title ''Wham!'' to form ''Pow and Wham''. The 86th and final issue appeared on 7 September 1968, after which it merged into ''Smash!'', another of the ''Power Comics'' line. It is unrelated to ''POW! Entertainment'', an American media production company. ==History of POW== ''Pow!'' was owned by IPC, the International Publishing Corporation, a company formed in 1963 by Cecil Harmsworth King, chairman of the Daily Mirror and Sunday Pictorial (now the Sunday Mirror), through a series of corporate mergers.〔(History of IPC ) on the IPC Media website〕〔(Birmingham Mail article by Paul Birch )〕 All of the comics published by IPC were under the control of one or other of the subsidiary companies which King had brought together to form IPC, including Fleetway Publications Ltd and Odhams Press.〔(History of Look and Learn )〕 The Power Comics, including ''Pow!'', were published by IPC's Odhams Press division, and were controlled by a three-man editorial team, known as Alf, Bart, and Cos. Alfred Wallace ("Alf") was the Managing Editor at Odhams, and supervised the entire ''Power Comics'' line. Under his direction, Bart and Cos were the staff Editors who handled the individual titles. Bart was the Editor directly responsible for ''Pow!''.〔(Career history of artist Ken Reid ) at DC Thompson and Odhams〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Pow!
