Captain Britain (1985)

Captain Britain (1985) was a 1985 American comic book-style series published by Marvel Comics UK, which ran for fourteen issues in total. It was the second volume with the title, following Captain Britain (1976).

It is of interest to the DWU as the first four issues included Free-Fall Warriors as an original backup story featuring the origin story of Freefall Warriors. This group encountered the Fourth Doctor in Doctor Who and the Free-Fall Warriors. While these backup stories did not concern the titular character, Captain Britain did appear at Bonjaxx's birthday party in Party Animals, a DWM comic story which featured the Seventh Doctor, the Freefall Warriors, and numerous other character cameos.

As with Death's Head (1988) / The Incomplete Death's Head after it, it is one of few titles that suggest the Doctor is a character within the multiverse of Marvel Comics.

Captain Britain originally planned to republish Jeff Hawke stories but was replaced with Free-Fall Warriors and the cover artwork was amended.
