I had only recently read about Deaths Head 3.0 not too long ago. But it's on am ever growing but list. I assume your speaking of the Nova series that coincides with Annihilation? That I have a good majority of to start with. The first 20-25 issues I believe. Yes, the Abnett and Lanning ongoing. The second year has Dr Necker from DH II working at Project Pegasus, and there's a lot of reference to Minion and the DH II series. |

Certain issues got reprinted more than once in the UK, in different titles over the years...   As I recall, the Mogol story was also reprinted in a hardcover Hulk Annual at one point. Somebody clearly liked it a lot. |

Currently reading my way through Mighty World of Marvel, where the Daredevil strips were reprinted about 10 years later in Marvel Super-Adventure. The Kirby/Lee FF must be the most reprinted: MWoM, Complete Fantastic Four, Fantastic Four weekly, Pocket Book, plus various specials and annuals. Of course, they also appeared in Titans, Captain Britain, Team-Up etc. but with different writers/artists in these.

I actually think it's worth noting how many classic runs actually continued to be reprinted uninterrupted for years, but often moved from one title to another several times along the way. A British Marvel fan in the 70s/80s could have followed the Avengers, for instance, from their first issue to their 200th without interruption, but would have started off reading them in MWOM, then Avengers Weekly, back to MWOM again, then The Titans, over to Super Spider-Man weekly, and finally Marvel Superheroes Monthly. |

For the uninitiated, Marvel UK was the British division of Marvel Comics, which existed from 1972 until the mid 1990s. Created as just a line of weekly reprint anthologies run from the New York bullpen with an office in London, by the late 1970s it was turning out original material too, some of which I personally feel is some of the best stuff Marvel ever published. Has the original material ever been reprinted separately? I'd like to have a look at some of that stuff. |

The entire UK run of Captain Britain stories, for instance (including a lengthy run by Alan Moore) have been reprinted in a series of trades by Panini, who've also reprinted Death's Head, the Knights of Pendragon volume one, and a lot of Marvel's licensed Doctor Who material. But there are other strips, like Paul Neary's Timesmasher, Steve Moore and Steve Dillon's Nick Fury, The Freefall Warriors, or many of the UK originated Hulk stories, which have never been reprinted anywhere, sadly. And much of the Night Raven series, fondly remembered by a lot of Marvel UK fans, was reprinted in collected form in 1990 but is now long out of print. |

In addition to the reprints by Panini, regular Marvel has reprinted the entire Captain Britain run from the beginning in Birth of a Legend, The Fall of Camelot, and the Captain Britain omnibus, which collects the Moore and Delano runs, aka the Alan Davis run. The Fall of Camelot is particularly interesting because it also collects the Parkhouse/Stokes Black Knight strip that reintroduced Captain Britain. |

And I've just remembered, the Moore/Davis and Davis/Delano Captain Britain stuff was also reprinted in a couple of trades in the late eighties/early nineties. Plus, there was the seven issue X-Men Archives: Captain Britain series, and more recently the Moore issues were reprinted yet again in a partwork. Some parts of that series have been reprinted half a dozen times, and yet other material from the same time period has never been touched. A shame. not that the Captain Britain series doesn't deserve it (it does), but I wish some of the more obscure material would get a look-in... |

A shame. not that the Captain Britain series doesn't deserve it (it does), but I wish some of the more obscure material would get a look-in... For the US reprints, Birth of a Legend and A Hero Reborn were published as a HC entitled Birth of a Legend, and The Lion and the Spider and The Siege of Camelot were reprinted as a HC entitled The Siege of Camelot, which I mistakingly referred to as The Fall of Camelot last night. Endgame and the Delano/Davis and Davis solo runs were collected in Captain Britain Omnibus, which also includes New Mutants Annual 2 and Uncanny X-Men Annual 11 (which, in my opinion, is the finest single issue of Claremont's X-Men run) and Mike Collins' "Cherubim" strips. There's also an older tpb of the Delano/Davis run entitled Captain Britain by Alan Davis. I'd really like the second half of the original Knights of Pendragon series to be reprinted. Warheads, too. The Night Raven stuff is a must, too. A lot of the Dr Who stuff has been reprinted by various publishers, but I'd like to see Absolm Daak: Dalek Killer reprinted. Great Steve Dillon art there. The "Frontier Comics" stuff is getting reprinted early next year, so maybe there's hope. |

I actually bought two copies of the Captain Britain Omnibus just to have both covers because I couldn't choose between them.

I have a Captain Britain collection that I think is just the Alan Moore stuff so I'll probably have a look for the others, though an initial search at mycomics turned up only one result, a 1988 book credited to Alan Davis and Jamie Delano.

I suspect the one you have is the 2002 collection, the second trade (though it collects material published before the stuff in the first, 1988, edition). |

I have 2 of the trades, this one which I have had forever...  and this one I picked up just before I moved out to Ohio...  I had, way back when a couple of the larger magazine sized newspint issues of Captain Britian (one had a cut out mask inside) but those got sold when I sold off most of my Silver and Bronze Marvles before the move. -M |

Yeah, you have the 2002 tpb, which has been reprinted a few times. It's not a bad package altogether, but it loses something by not including the first few Davis chapters that were written by Dave Thorpe, who set the stage for Alan Moore and the "Jasper's Warp" storyline. I guess those chapters aren't essential, but without them, you're kinda dropped into the middle of a storyline with no explanation. |
