A legendary hero flies the flag for the United Kingdom as we celebrate the legacy of the House of Ideas with the era-spanning Marvel Tales!
In Chris Claremont and Herb Trimpe’s incredible Captain Britain #1-2 (1976), Brian Braddock must choose between the Sword of Might and the Amulet of Right. Only one will transform him into Captain Britain, champion of Albion! Then, Brian takes a trip across the pond and ends up in Spider-Man’s neighborhood – but their first meeting turns downright murderous, courtesy of Arcade, in Marvel Team-Up #65-66 (1972) – by the fan-favorite team of Claremont and John Byrne! Then, the sword is drawn in Excalibur #1 (1988) as Claremont joins artist Alan Davis to team Captain Britain and his girlfriend Meggan with a trio of ex-X-Men – Nightcrawler, Shadowcat and Phoenix – to form the UK’s most offbeat super team!
Collecting Captain Britain #1-2 (1976), Marvel Team-Up #65-66 (1972) and Excalibur #1 (1988).
