Re: The Captain Britain Thread

Another Captain Britain reprint this week from the True Believers line; this time, reprinting part of the early eighties run by Dave Thorpe and Alan Davis, introducing Saturnyne.

. . . and before in CrossGen titles The First and Scion (someone remember those ones?).    

Not me.

But back then, I wasn't regularly buying comic books. (I pretty much took a break from actively buying/reading comic books between sometime in 1995 and around 2010.)

Found the cover image on the internet:

It's suppose to be reprinting the Captain Britain stories from Marvel Super Heroes (1979) #380-383.

From 1982, in fact, as it says on the cover.

It appears the "1979" reference was to when that run of the comic book began.

Looking at the GDC, that run of Marvel Super Heroes started at issue #353 (September 1979); prior to that, it was Marvel Comic (for issues #330 - #352). The whole thing appears to have begun as The Mighty World of Marvel (a name that lasted through issue #329).
But you probably knew all that anyway . . .

Well, yes. I bought them all. MWOM was Marvel UK's flagship title.

Do you know who drew the cover? GCD credits Alan Davis, but it looks a bit Nearyish to me.

Paul Neary. I have the original magazine.
