CAPTAIN BRITAIN No. 1's

Captain Britain (1976)




Captain Britain (1985)




Captain Britain and M1 13 (2008)

[Thundershot]

You forgot to mention Excalibur v1, which is where many Americans, at least, became a fan of him.

[Nomads1]

Happt 2022, Brian Braddock, the true Captain Britain!

Peace

[Frontier]

Happy New Year to Brian and his fans .

[Reviresco]

Captain Britain and M1 13

I LOVED this book so much. I wish it could have had a much longer run.

Raises hand.

Happy new year Captain Britain fans! Oh and with news that the Flash is gonna erase the Zack Snyder dc movies, that frees Henry Cavill up to possibly play Brian. Lol.

Which arcs and issues of Excalibur did you like? There's quite a bit of mixed feelings amongst CB fans regarding how Brian was portrayed in Excalibur. Personally I've read everything on CB but only bits and bats of Excalibur and I wasn't always that impressed.

Happt 2022, Brian Braddock, the true Captain Britain!

Hear! Hear!

I think a lot of us feel the same. What a great run. It gave back to us the Captain Britain we had missed through much of Excalibur but then Rick Rememder messed him up again later in Secret Avengers and Uncanny X-Force

Claremont's Excalibur arguably threw Brian and Meggan under a bus characterisation-wise. Davis' Excalibur is the best the book got,imo. Though it still uses CC's characterisations, it does its best to explain them.

The Moore/Davis era is my favourite version of the character.
