Wow thank you for sharing and what a great review. I'm a big fan of Alan Davis and Alan Moore (love their DR and Quinch series) but for me the 2 Alan's run on Captain Britain is probably my favorite comic story of all time. I actually have all of the original comics in my collection as well as the issues of Jamie Delano run on CB. I also have all the other collected editions and including this fantastic Captain Britain Marvel Omnibus although mine is still sealed so thank you for posting pictures of how it looks inside. Apparently the value of this CB Omnibus have gone crazy and saw a used one for sale for $830
ReplyDeleteThank you, my collection used to be stored in boxes so that blog was also a means to look at it!
