Jack of Hearts

A wild card from Marvel's Bronze Age, Jack of Hearts made his debut in 1981 courtesy of the creative team of Paul Neary, Dave Thorpe, and Alan Davis — the same visionary trio who helped define the legendary Captain Britain mythos. This enigmatic figure has kept extraordinary company over the decades, sharing pages with the likes of Captain Britain himself, Brian Braddock, and the delightfully chaotic Mad Jim Jaspers, placing him squarely within one of Marvel's most imaginative and distinctly British corners of the universe. His presence across collections like the Captain Britain Omnibus and X-Men Archives Featuring Captain Britain speaks to his enduring place in that celebrated continuity, spanning an impressive four decades from 1981 to 2021. If you're diving deep into Marvel's rich British heritage, Jack of Hearts is one of those intriguing figures who rewards the curious collector.
