From Marvel Comics: Alan Moore and Alan Davis represent two of graphic
storytelling's greatest innovators. Individually, they are masters; together,
they are legend. And for every legend, there is a beginning. For each, this
is their first masterpiece, a fitting repository of the literary and artistic
standards they would establish. A story that would influence the heart and
soul of comic books for generations. For Brian Braddock, a.k.a. Captain
Britain, it began when the Merlin of Arthurian myth transported him to a
world sideways to his own, an alternate reality on the brink of annihilation.
A world Braddock would fail to save. And when the events that destroyed
that world begin to repeat themselves on his own, Captain Britain faces
a destiny that he cannot avert. Join Moore and Davis in this collection
of their first collaboration, originally published exclusively in Marvel's
United Kingdom line.] NOTE: The 2005 printing of this volume
restores a page that had been missing from earlier editions.
