After 23 issues of CAPTAIN BRITAIN being printed mostly in
colour, number 24 saw the by then MARVEL U.K. standard glossy
cover and grey tones added to the comic, doubtless to cut costs in the
face of a declining circulation. However, there were compensations in
that JOHN BUSCEMA & TOM PALMER took over the art chores
on the main strip, and the comic was given more pages (in line with
other Marvel U.K. weeklies), allowing four titanic tales per ish.
It only lasted 16 issues however, before the title was absorbed
by SUPER SPIDER-MAN, but for a glorious 39 weeks, the good
Captain had a comic of his very own. So return with me now to 1977,
and let's look again at the new direction in the career of Britain's own
sensational superhero - and don't forget to come back for the next
partt! I'd hate for you to miss anything - and so would you!
