*Marvel UK: We continue our series of Captain Britain updates with three very special Fee Gift issues. In addition to the debut and origin of Brian Braddock and his costumed alter ego by Chris Claremont and Herb Trimpe, 1976’s first two issues of Captain Britain, in the grand tradition of British weekly comics, featured giveaways – a Captain Britain mask with issue #1, and a Captain Britain Boomerang (pardon?) with #2. When it became clear the title needed reformatting in 1977, Gary Friedrich took over the new Captain Britain stories with #24, while the art, at least for a short time, was provided by the classic John Buscema/Tom Palmer duo – and lovely stuff it is, too! The relaunch issue, #24 also offered a free gift, a Captain Britain glider, which we believe to be significantly scarcer than the #1 and #2 free gifts. All three ‘gifted’ numbers – # 1, #2, and #24 – back in stock, highly collectible VF copies with the free gifts in NM, never assembled or used. #1 £35, #2 £30, #24 £40.
