Disney Bans Non US Originated Marvel Comics
Marvel's new owners Disney have issued an edict that from now on, all material featuring Marvel characters must originate in the US-which is potentially very bad news for Panini (who currently publish UK originated titles for younger readers as well as US reprints) and for the UK comics industry in general as it will mean less work for British freelancers and, of course, less comics in the high street for British kids. It also brings to a close a tradition of UK originated Marvel comics dating back to 1976 and the creation of Captain Britain.

There are many creations to pick from but Cap Britain was created by Marvel US for the UK market, the character didn't actually come from the UK stable... And Marvel UK dates back to 1972...

CB was originally published by Marvel UK, yes, but CB was created by the US Bullpen. Just saying.
And a holiday in Cornwall doesn't make either of the creators an expert in how to do stuff for the UK market, lol ![]() Agreed that CB as a character is done far better with UK talent, though |
