Basil Crushstone

Basil Crushstone is a Bronze Age villain who slunk onto the scene in the pages of Marvel UK's Captain Britain #37 in 1977, brought to life by the creative team of Len Wein, Larry Lieber, and Ron Wilson. Over a surprisingly enduring run stretching all the way to 2021, this distinctly British corner of the Marvel universe kept Crushstone in circulation alongside the likes of Captain Britain himself and a rogues' gallery that includes the Highwayman and the Manipulator. With 12 catalog appearances, a key issue to his name, and a place in the celebrated Captain Britain Omnibus, he's a rewarding discovery for collectors who love digging into Marvel UK's rich, underappreciated Bronze Age output.
