CAPTAIN BRITAIN 'HULKS' OUT...

 

Copyright MARVEL COMICS

 

I have the strong impression that I picked up this particular issue in the offices of 2000 A.D. in the mid-'80s, although I'd no doubt bought a copy when it first came out in 1979.  THARG was obviously agreeable to my request to keep the comic, and here I am, nearly 30 years later, and it's still in my possession.  Hoarder?  Moi?

 

Looking at it today, it's hard to believe that only three years had passed between the debut of CAPTAIN BRITAIN #1 and his origin being reprinted in HULK COMIC #31.  Thinking back, it seems to me that it felt like a much longer period between the two issues at the time, but it's hard to be sure.

 

Anyway, I thought you might like to see the second British weekly presentation of the Cap's origin, re-sized, de-coloured, but still with the same Magnificent Mighty MARVEL Magic!
