It Came From Darkmoor...: Who drew that Cap?

Who drew that Cap?

Hi folks.

A few of you have bee asking me who drew the Captain Britain image I've used to create the Welcome Logo at the top of the page.

The answer guys, is Mark Brooks, former artist on New X-Men. I'm a keen admirer of Mark's artwork, and that picture of Cap came from a picture of him and his twin (Psylocke) on Brooks' DeviantArt page. You can find it complete here:

And here's a direct link to the guy's full page:

Go take a look. The guy's brilliant. I wish that Marvel would use him more.

It Came From Darkmoor...

...in October of 1976, on the moors around a research facility. For a few years thereafter it lurked in the shadows, doing its own thing, telling its own tales, until suddenly it found that it was a bit a successful. It began to grow, create more of itself, embrace licensing and raise its profile higher, until the day came when it's older Brother had to take notice of it.

'IT' was Marvel UK.

This is a blog dedicated to the mostly forgotten (But ultimately worthwhile) British corner of the Marvel Universe. Its titles, its characters, its former imprint and more recent revivals. God knows they all seem to gnaw away at my brain so often that, since 2007, I thought that I may as well find a way to exorcise them in a constructive fashion.

This site was the result.

So welcome, friend. If you loved Captain Britain, or if you remember Death's Head, or even if you're just curious about what the hell Marvel UK had to offer back in the day, then pull up a pew, embrace the nostalgia, and pray that there may yet be some kind of future for these Properties, Characters and Places.

Contrary to some people's beliefs they were mostly written in-continuity with the American Marvel Comics.

You may not see them as often as the likes of Iron Man, Spider-man or Captain America, but they are still out there.

Come read about a few of them...
