It had started with plenty of promise, but readers' interest quickly
waned and soon signed the death warrant for CAPTAIN BRITAIN's
weekly MARVEL U.K. mag, which ceased publication with issue #39.
The good Captain continued on in the pages of SUPER SPIDER-MAN,
presumably because the pages had already been drawn and paid for, but
I suspect the strip wasn't too popular and it quietly disappeared after
only 23 episodes, the last six being a two issue Spidey & Cap tale
from MARVEL TEAM-UP, cut into weekly instalments.
And so we come to the end of another slice of the '70s. Don't
despaiir 'though, as we still have The SUPER-HEROES cover
& image gallery to enjoy, so tune into that, nostalgia fans, when
the next part pops up in a post - coming your way soon!
And just to round things off, below is the first issue of the com-
bined title. This is the very comic that I gave to a friend back in the
late '70s or very early '80s, and which I re-acquired from him around
a year and a half ago, over 30 years after parting from it. (Gets you
right there, doesn't it?)
