For those unaware, Captain Britain first appeared as part of UK-exclusive anthology collections, which reprinted previous Marvel Comics issues alongside a new Captain Britain story. This book collects most of the early appearances of Captain Britain. While the book starts strong, and regains its strength near the end, the middle drags quite heavily with many filler issues while the writers seem to figure out what they want the character to be. Claremont was also a contributor to the Wild Cards anthology series.Ĭaptain Britain (Brian Braddock) is at his best when his adventures are just as strange and weird as the hero himself is. In the 1980s, he also wrote a science fiction trilogy about female starship pilot Nicole Shea, consisting of First Flight (1987), Grounded! (1991), and Sundowner (1994).
