General Mayhew

General Mayhew is a military figure operating in the Marvel UK universe alongside Captain Britain and Brian Braddock, inhabiting a world of Cold War-era intrigue and distinctly British adventure.

General Mayhew made his entrance in the pages of Marvel UK's Super Spider-Man #239 in 1977, brought to life by the celebrated Bronze Age talents of Archie Goodwin and Sal Buscema. A figure who shares his adventures with the likes of Captain Britain and Brian Braddock, he occupies a corner of the Marvel UK universe that carries a distinctly British flavour and Cold War-era gravitas. With appearances stretching across an impressive span of decades — from 1977 all the way to 2021 — this military man has proven quietly resilient in the Marvel UK canon, turning up in collections like the Captain Britain Omnibus that celebrate this rich, often underappreciated chapter of comics history. A rare find with only a handful of catalogued appearances, General Mayhew is exactly the kind of deep-cut discovery that makes digging through Bronze Age British Marvel so rewarding.
