The Ultimate Graphic Novels Collection #3
☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeThis volume collects the complete 'A Crooked World' storyline from the 2005 Captain Britain series, written by Paul Cornell with art by Pat Olliffe. It follows the multiversal hero as he navigates a distorted version of reality where the United Kingdom is ruled by a tyrannical version of his sister, Betsy Braddock. The story explores themes of identity and resistance within the Marvel UK corner of the multiverse.
"A Crooked World" marks a pivotal return for Captain Britain as he steps back into his own reality and finds Braddock Manor standing whole—far from the ruin he expected. Written by Alan Moore and brought to life by Alan Davis, whose dynamic art and inks define the story’s mood, the issue unfolds with a haunting blend of memory and revelation. When visions of his parents begin to surface, Captain Britain uncovers the truth behind the manor’s preservation: a super-computer named Mastermind, once responsible for his family’s fate, now lies at his mercy. The cover, also by Alan Davis, captures the moment of uneasy discovery.

Captain Britain is finally back in his own reality and travels home to Braddock manor. He believed the house to be a shelled out husk but finds it standing intact and pristine. Then he begins to have visions of the past, including one of his dead parents. He quickly discovers that these are holograms projected by the super-computer, Mastermind, who was responsible for his folk's death. Brian disables the computer and modifies it for his own use. Cap is thrilled to now have a secret base, a super-computer at his disposal and a few minutes to sit back and relax. Then the phone rings.
