CAPTAIN BRITAIN COVER GALLERY - PART ONE...

"EXPLODING FROM THE MIGHTY WORLD OF MARVEL..."

exclaimed the cover banner of the first issue of CAPTAIN BRITAIN's

own monthly mag. It said the same on the covers of #s 2-5 & 8 , thus ensuring

that the name, at least, of Marvel's 1972 debut U.K. comic survived into August

of 1985. Then we had to wait another eighteen years to see the mag's return.

Ironically, some of these selfsame CB tales eventually appeared (in colour)

in the revived MWOM , bringing things nicely full-circle.

Cap, of course, had first appeared in his own weekly mag back in

1976, and we'll be looking at the covers from that series in (hopefully) the

not too distant future. Until that happens 'though, be sure and join us for

the second part of this particular cover gallery - coming soon!
