Captain Britain. 🇬🇧 Week 4. After Moore. The monthly. Issues 4 & 5. Sidney isn’t human any more. The Fury’s infection. Matter to rebuild. Crumb’s curse. Then Double Game. Battle of the Britains. Enemies in his camp. Family threatened. Davis in full flight. Every issue different. Brit grit elegance. Moonlit noir. 🌙 🖤 Gentle, graceful, generous. Superhero tea with sympathy. Sweeney meets Blake’s 7 with Doctor Who strangeness. Not the 60s Kirby hit on repeat. Here I stand and face the rain. I know that nothing’s gonna be the same again. I fear for what tomorrow brings. a-ha – Here I Stand and Face the Rain. 🎤 🎹 🥁 youtube.com/watch?v=jPk9FhbS… Captain Britain isn’t getting his normal life back. What we kept when the name went to Excalibur and we did not follow... The copies bought back. #CaptainBritainMonth #AfterMoore #AlanDavis

Toy Tuesday. 🦁 🪁 Captain Britain. 🇬🇧 'VAARRR!' 💥 Well hello there, *Reader's Voice. We (FINALLY) found THIS custom on Figure Realm - Captain Britain taking one of his (many) beatings from the Fury, with Funhouse Jaspers energy in the background. 🃏 Chessboard floor, white door, sand, the whole crooked-world staging. It’s the Alan Moore/Alan Davis moment most toys politely ignore. But we'll call it? The Captain Britain 'Holy Grail' moment in Angelo sculpts. 🏆 figurerealm.com/customfigure… For contrast, the classic Bowen Designs sculpted bust still looks the part when you want the Davis full patriotic kit. RaddTitan’s short captures the “very pleased collector” 😎 reaction cleanly: youtube.com/shorts/KMDIo2ZZ5… Bowen 'Glam Rock' 'Lion' Mini-Bust AND wider merch history (cards, Lego minifig, masks, jigsaws, the usual) lives here: britishcomics.fandom.com/wik… And if you prefer the modern uniform vibe, Super-Duper’s look at the Marvel Legends Captain Britain alongside 'Spider-UK' still holds up: super-dupertoybox.blogspot.c… Hard to top last week’s triple AAA Angelo 'big love' sculpt, but the Fury diorama is THE Grail Cup. Sometimes the interesting Captain Britain is the one on the floor... (...with, 'That's gonna hurt in the morning, Son.' 🤕 Vibe.)

Captain Britain. 🇬🇧 Week 4. After Moore. The monthly. Issues 2 & 3. Crazy Gang back. “Orf wiv their ’eads!” 👑 Slaymaster free. Dai Thomas still tracking. Davis in full flight. Brit Grit elegance. Silhouetted, moonlit, low-key. 🌙 Not cosmic noise. The book finding its feet. Own series for the first time since the glam years. 🪩 “You can’t deny, there’s something dark against the light. All I can say is…it doesn’t have to be this way.” a-ha – Dream Myself Alive. 🎤 🎹 🥁 youtube.com/watch?v=mmqV_hiN… #CaptainBritainMonth #AfterMoore #AlanDavis

Movie Monday: Captain Britain and the Amulet of Right. 🎞️ 🇬🇧 A shy physics student. A near-fatal motorcycle crash. Merlyn and Roma offering the choice between the Amulet of Right and the Sword of Might. He chooses the path of reason…and becomes Britain’s champion. Protect Avalon. Re-energize a broken empire. Stand against the primordial dark. Glam-rock soundtrack (Slade, T. Rex and the rest of that 70s charge). Cavill… or an unknown in the Reeve tradition. (Credit to @comixandcrypto for the spark. Community energy that lands gets featured.) 🎤 🎸 🥁 👢 🪩 youtube.com/watch?v=zRgWvvkS… #MovieMonday #CaptainBritain #Glamrock

Captain Britain. 🇬🇧 Week 4. After Moore. 🪄 The handoff. Corps first. One room, every Britain. 🇬🇧 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 👑 Albion, England, Airstrip One, Commonwealth. “Well met, bravest of Captains.” Moore’s last expansive flourish - the Omniverse. 🌎 🌍 🌏 🌐 🌌 deconstructed, Brian realising how small one Britain is. Wit and scale. Then he leaves. 🍂 Next: the scaffolding. Full moon. 🌕 GRADANNG! Micky falls. The caption already points forward: “NEXT: TEA AND SYMPATHY.” 🫖 ☕️ 💔 Davis takes the wheel. The cost lands. No fight shown. Just the weight. Then the doorframe. Brian’s size against a normal doorway. Apologetic body language. Timid entrance. Joan Scott: “No you’re not. I lost Micky a long time ago.” Human scale after the cosmic noise. The tea is already in the room. Davis proving the writing chops in one panel. Closer: Captain Britain #1 cover. January 1985. “Exploding from the Mighty World of Marvel…” The book that shouldn’t have happened after the merger, but did. The copies you bought back. Lacrimosa for the exit. Mozart’s Requiem. A quiet one for Moore, Merlin and Micky... 🎻 🎤 🎹 🥁 youtube.com/watch?v=FRO8SQjn… #CaptainBritainMonth #AfterMoore

Captain Britain. 🇬🇧 Week 3 closer. (Davis / Crooked World.) “I… I think he’s going to kill it. Because if he doesn’t…if he can’t kill it…then it’s all up to you.” The deck was already crooked. 🃏 Jaspers built the fun-house; the Fury was the only thing inside it that still answered to its programming... VVAAARRR! 💥 The moment the board stopped being a comic. 🎤 🎸 youtube.com/watch?v=pO1HC8pH… #CaptainBritainMonth #CrookedWorld

Gaming Saturday. 🕹️ ⚔️ 🏹 🪄 🔥 In the stone halls the party moves as one. Time only advances when someone steps forward - everyone else answers at the same pace. Seven different faces, seven different jobs: the shield, the axe, the arrow, the flame, the heal. The rooms have been rebuilt room by room. Characters that breathe between the strikes. It still carries that old arcade weight. @tkworks_gamedev Free demo on Steam. store.steampowered.com/app/4… #GamingSaturday #IndieGames #RallyTheParties

Captain Britain. 🇬🇧 Davis. Crooked World. Candlelight Dialogues. MWoM. The splash that ends the chapter. Then the camp. Candlelight. Megan tells Sue the stories. Brian came down from the north. He fought thirty Beetle storm troopers. Then hundreds. The last panel shows two. Jaspers on the wall: “In your hearts you know he’s right.” Why this above Watchmen? Quintessentially British by British creators. Half-close your eyes and it could be V, Swamp Thing or Marvelman. Brit grit elegant superhero noir with pulp vibes. “Pass us a neural grenade, ’arry. This one looks a bit of an ’ard case.” Sounds like the Sweeney. Soundtrack: Eurythmics, “There Must Be An Angel (Playing With My Heart).” This one’s for Meggan. 🎤 🎹 🥁 youtube.com/watch?v=RCdneDxF…

Captain Britain. 🇬🇧 Davis. Crooked World. “Can I have forgotten something?” Merlin. The Fury. The thing that murdered her world and then followed her across the universes. Captain UK’s knees buckle. Time stops. “NO! It was the SAME speech, Captain! It was EXACTLY the same SPEECH!!” Then the god of Otherworld: “NO!!” VAAARRR!! Divine hands blistered. Her piece is still, somehow, in play. Why THIS above Watchmen? Veidt had rhyme and reason - a dark morality that a few million must die for the greater good. The Fury CANNOT be reasoned with. Götterdämmerung. The ultimate superhero-killing machine. Her planet of heroes WIPED out in front of her, a universe destroyed in its wake and the thing that DID it is standing right THERE. Humanity’s dark mirror. Soundtrack: Clannad, “Caisleán Óir.” youtube.com/watch?v=cHEoJ0Ij…

Indie Comic Focus. 💬 🎃 Dark, striking and right on time. Cephas #1 & #2 - @vehementstudios #IndieComics #WildFrontier

Captain Britain. 🇬🇧 Davis. Crooked World. Thoom! KA-THOOM! “Miracle Man! It shot Miracle Man! But that’s impossible!” Captain UK’s nightmare. The last heroes of her world huddle. Even Miracle Man. Even the indestructible Tom Rosetta. All of them. Her universe is then vaporised. The Fury is still coming. Why this above Watchmen? Because the Comedian dies and the story continues. Here the entire superhero idea of a world dies in front of her and the thing that did it is still on its way... Soundtrack: a-ha, “Stay On These Roads.” Stay on these roads. We shall meet, I know. ❄️ 🎤 🎹 🥁 youtube.com/watch?v=nWey1DBA…

Toy Tuesday continues… 🪁 Captain Britain Month. 🇬🇧🦸‍♂️ The REAL deal. 1/4 Scale Custom Statue Kit by Dario Martin (produced by Ownage). Full sculpt of the classic Davis Guard of Honour design. Elevated flying pose, imposing physique and that magical origin base with Merlin & Roma - the ties to his story are a nice touch. Multiple alternate head sculpts for the Michelangelo fans who want variety. Full review by Statue Boss Productions: youtube.com/watch?v=1Q46mYe9… Art + Toys as storytelling. The sculpture renaissance continues. #ToyTuesday #CaptainBritain #StatueKit #MarvelStatues #Collectibles #ArtPillar #ToysAsArt #MichaelAngelo #5PillarsOfStorytelling

Captain Britain. 🇬🇧 Davis. Crooked World. The Special Executive arrive at night. Not human. They take him from the bedroom almost before the fight starts. Cobweb, Wardog, Fascination - the job is simply to deliver the witness. Then the court. Mandragon sits as emperor, judge and prosecution. He calls Saturnyne and Captain Britain lovers. Accuses them of conspiring on 238. Brian’s patience is short. The outburst lands: “What the HELL is this? HOW can you be emperor, judge AND prosecution counsel? That’s a DAMN lie! Are YOU the HANGMAN too?” 😎 Soundtrack: a-ha, “Train of Thought.” 1985. His thoughts full of strangers. His mind once full of reason. Now there’s more than meets the eye. 👁️ A man of science kept being walked into rooms that treat whole worlds as paperwork. The extraordinary becomes the working day. The pages already know the ground is movable before anyone explains why. 🎤 🎹 🥁 youtube.com/watch?v=7vdOgObQ… (*Bonus bit. Why we regard this higher than Watchmen? It's a fresh, crisp Autumn day. Organic. Coalescing. Quintessentially British! Eccentric. Dark. RAW Brit Grit Noir. Outrageous! Intimate... Grand. Utterly unapologetic (!) pyrotechnic Superhero FUN and yet? DEADLY serious.)
