Marvel Super Hero Contest of Champions Vol 1

Marvel Super Hero Contest of Champions was a three issue limited series published in America by Marvel Comics in 1982 (it was, in fact, Marvel's first limited series). It is listed here as it is the first full, non reprint appearance of Captain Britain (Brian Braddock) in an American title following his debut in Marvel Team-Up #65-66. The Captain and his ally the Black Knight are abducted during their adventure in Hulk Comic Vol 1 (1979-1980), published two years earlier than the Captain's then current adventures in Marvel UK's Marvel Super-Heroes Monthly Vol 1 ; the disparity in timing is due to publication of Contest of Champions having been delayed by two years (it was originally intended to be released at the time of the 1980 Summer Olympics). The entire series was reprinted as a collected one-shot in 2015.
