On This Day, 30th September 1972, Marvel UK’s very first issue of the weekly The Mighty World of Marvel arrived in newsagents, accompanied by its “iron on” Hulk transfer, very much a collectable today...

"In your hearts you know he's right!" When Alan Moore took over home-grown superhero CAPTAIN BRITAIN in 1982, he and artist Alan Davis created a darkly comic, weird, and dystopian epic about doomed heroics, right-wing politicians, and unstoppable killing machines. A timeless classic.

The Spirit from February 5, 1950. Art by Will Eisner & Jerry Grandenetti, with letters by Abe Kanegson.

The page is made up of three panels, all taking place in a graveyard at night. The first shows a flashlight shining on a body that's lying in front of a tombstone, which reads "Here Lies Denny." The last name is obscured but it's probably "Colt," which is the name of the Spirit. The next panel shows a blue glove on the ground. The final panel shows three cops and Commissioner Dolan discussing the case. Their faces are all in shadow, and between the blue glove and the blue mask the victim was clutching, they realize that their prime suspect is the Spirit. Dolan reluctantly tells them to send out a citywide alarm to capture him.

[Scene is a GREGGS interior. A lone MAN, the only customer in the shop, is standing at counter]

MAN:
Please can I have a sausage roll.

2
GREGGS SHOP ASSISTANT:
Certainly sir

[She pulls a leaver on the panini machine and WOOSH the man disappears through a trapdoor].

Whoosh

3
[The MAN appears through a chute in an underground bunker. A voice from off-scene greets him]:

Welcome, friend

4
[We see the voice is of a military-looking resistance COMMANDER with a moustache]

COMMANDER:
You said "please can I have" instead of “can I get”…

So now you're one of us.

5
MAN:
W-where am I ...?

[We see him looking at a hi tech UNDERGROUND MILITARY BUNKER - it has resistance vibes, and has lots of screens with maps etc]

6
COMMANDER:
You've joined the resistance…

...against people saying things all American.

7
COMMANDER:
We are an underground network of sleeper agents poised to have a right go at young people the moment they say "mom" or "bangs”.

8
LIEUTENANT [Staring at screen]:
Agent 244 has just given a Zoomer in Halifax the “could/couldn't care less" speech, sir

COMMANDER:
Very good

9
[Show the map of the UK with digital pop ups on it saying ‘GOTTEN’, ‘ZEE’, ‘MATH’ etc

COMMANDER:
You may have heard our name... We are...

10
COMMANDER:
...the Fight Against New Yankee Pronunciations and Americanisms Corrupting the King's English!
