Marvel Superheroes [Marvel Super-Heroes] #387

Jul 1982 · Marvel UK · 0.45 GBP; 0.63 IEP
“A Crooked World”

In "A Crooked World," the world spirals into chaos, and with Captain Britain and Saturnyne blamed, the British government unleashes the Fury—a deadly cybiote designed to eliminate heroes. As the battle turns grim and even Luna’s team is forced to retreat, Captain Britain faces the Fury alone, his resolve tested when Jackdaw falls. Broken and cornered, he’s pulled from the brink by an unexpected savior: Mad Jim Jaspers. Written by Alan Davis and Alan Moore, with art by Alan Davis and lettering by Jenny O'Connor, this 1982 UK Marvel Super-Heroes issue delivers a tense, character-driven clash of ideology and survival, all rendered in Davis’s distinctive style. The cover, also by Alan Davis, captures the moment’s intensity.

The whole world has gone mad and the British government thinks Captain Britain and Saturnyne are responsible so they activate the Fury, a hero killing cybiote. When the Fury proves too much, even for Cap, Luna and her crew teleport out. The Fury kills Jackdaw but even Cap's intense rage at seeing his friend cut down is not enough to help him defeat the creature. Cap's arm is broken in the battle and he is rescued by an unlikely ally, Mad Jim Jaspers.
