A cascading cornucopia of cool comics, crazy cartoons, & classic collectables - plus other completely captivating & occasionally controversial contents. With nostalgic notions, sentimental sighings, wistful wonderings, remorseful ruminations, melancholy musings, rueful reflections, poignant ponderings, & yearnings for yesteryear. (And a few profound perplexities, puzzling paradoxes, & a bevy of big, beautiful, bedazzling, buxom Babes to round it all off.)

CAPTAIN BRITAIN COVER, SPLASH PAGE & IMAGE GALLERY - PART FIVE...
CAPTAIN BRITAIN #17 was a bit of a mess! Due to a printer's error, it included some pages from #18 (in place of the intended pages), which meant that the entire colour content didn't make much sense. The following issue contained a complete and correct extra colour section of the previous week's pages, to enable readers to construct a coherent comic for their collection. (At the printer's expense, no doubt.)
However, to spare you the confounding confusion, I've posted the pages in the order that they should've been, not as they were. That's the kind of considerate chum I am to all Criv-ites (and Criv-kids) everywhere. You'd like to thank me, you say? Well, simply enjoy the plethora of impressive images before you and perhaps proffer a comment on your own personal memories of them. That'll be thanks enough.
