WHEN HERO TURNS VILLAIN (1977)

Having just learned that it was Merlin who gave him his powers, Captain Britain (Brian Braddock) has been granted the magical Star Sceptre that gives him the power of flight for 15 minutes at a time. Cap is about to take his ability to fight crime to a whole new level, but the machinations of the sinister Manipulator aren't going to do his public image any good, or dissuade Dai Thomas from thinking his nothing more than a lout.

Captain Britain's adventures were created for Marvel UK by American writers and, at this point, it seemed like Dick Van Dyke's performance in Mary Poppins was the only point of reference anyone seemed to have.

MARVEL MONSTERS (2005)

One of Marvel's fifth-week events from 2005 centred around the classic Marvel Monsters that would invade the pages of Strange Tales , Journey into Mystery , Amazing Adventures , Tales to Astonish and Tales of Suspense every month, before the age of heroes. While it was an okay event at best, the four one-shots finally established that those behemoths from outer space and other dimensions did actually inhabit the Marvel Universe ! The highlight is the Hulk 's clash with Devil Dinosaur (a character who was first introduced in the 1970s), but we also found out what some of these creatures had been up to since their early '60 debuts, an untold tale of the time some of the Marvel U's more monstrous heroes gathered to fight them and, finally, the introduction of the  Fin Fang Four ! The featured stories aren't connected and most issues also featured reprints of classic Marvel Monster tales. Marvel Monsters: Devil Dinosaur #1 [1/2] Marvel Monsters: Monsters on the Prow...

DEAD DAYS (2007)

The Marvel Zombies were a surprise hit when they made their debut, initially invading the Ultimate Universe , then getting their teeth into a mini-series of their own as written by Robert Kirkman of ' The Walking Dead ' fame. Earth-2149 was an Earth infected by a zombie virus that turned its inhabitants (seemingly concentrating on the super-human population) into undead flesh-eaters who retained their intelligence but lost all of their morality. We already knew the virus was brought to Earth-2149 by the Sentry of Earth-91126 , but how did it all play out in the beginning? And what part did Ashley "Ash" Williams of Earth-818793 have to do with it? How did the ' Chosen One ' assigned by God  himself to fight the Necronomicon 's Deadite ' Army of Darkness ' play a part in the end of humanity in the world of the Marvel Zombies..? MCG Note: Don't have access to the ' Army of Darkness ' comics but want to find out how it all began? Don...
