Who is Jester?

Jester is a Marvel UK character who debuted in the British anthology series, operating in the fantastical world surrounding Captain Britain. Associated with eccentric figures like Tweedledope and the Red Queen, Jester inhabits a whimsical corner of the Marvel universe blending absurdist adventure with superheroics.

Bursting onto the British comics scene in 1984's The Mighty World of Marvel #11, Jester is a Bronze Age creation from the legendary pairing of Alan Moore and Alan Davis — a duo who defined an era of Marvel UK storytelling. This distinctive character moves through a vivid corner of the Marvel universe, sharing adventures with the likes of Captain Britain, Brian Braddock, the Red Queen, and the wonderfully bizarre Tweedledope, suggesting a world where the whimsical and the heroic collide in gloriously British fashion. Appearing across titles like Excalibur and Captain Britain over a remarkable 26-year span, Jester may not boast the highest page count in the catalog, but any character born from the Moore-Davis collaboration carries an instant collector's cachet. A gem for fans who love the rich, idiosyncratic tradition of Marvel UK.
