"Introducing, Captain Britain" brings a fresh, cross-Atlantic clash to Marvel Tales #201, as Brian Braddock—newly arrived in America as an exchange student—unexpectedly shares a room with Peter Parker. With tensions flaring between the British hero and the web-slinger, their rivalry quickly turns into an uneasy alliance when both are captured by the ever-crafty Arcade. Written by Chris Claremont and illustrated by John Byrne, with dynamic inks by Dave Hunt and vibrant colors by Andy Yanchus, this issue captures the spark of a new hero’s arrival, all set to George Pérez and Joe Albelo’s striking cover.

When British exchange student Brian Braddock moves in with Peter Parker, a clash of cultures—and capes—quickly follows. Spidey and the newly arrived Captain Britain square off in a showdown that’s as awkward as it is inevitable, only to find themselves trapped by the ever-crafty Arcade.

In "Unlucky Bucks or The Illegal Eagle," Spider-Ham swaps his black suit for the classic red and blue after Shock-Cur mocks him over a dandruff issue, while Uncle Scram launches a misguided crusade to banish foreigners from the U.S.—all in a lighthearted, absurdly funny 5-page tale from Marvel Tales #201.
