This past January, when asked about Betsy Braddock’s 50th birthday in X-Men Monday #325, Conductor of X Tom Brevoort teased, “Betsy turns 50 along with Captain Britain, so we’ll definitely be doing something for Captain Britain’s 50th, and Betsy will definitely be a part of that.” AIPT can now eXclusively reveal exactly what Marvel has planned, along with two striking covers spotlighting each of the Braddock twins.
The oversized Captain Britain 50th Anniversary Special celebrates five decades of Brian and Betsy Braddock with stories by Chris Claremont, Alan Davis, and Dan Abnett. For Claremont, the milestone is especially meaningful.
“It’s so much fun to return to this group of good friends. Hard to believe 50 years have passed since Herb Trimpe and I first created these characters,” Claremont said. “As a kid raised on British comics, I was thrilled to be asked to create Britain’s own superheroes. What fun to again put them through their paces! For everyone who loves Brian’s twin sister Betsey, this one’s for you!”
Read on for the Captain Britain 50th Anniversary Special one-shot’s details.
