Captain America (Steve Rogers)

Captain America was a 32 page weekly title launched by Marvel UK on 25th February 1981, featuring American Marvel reprints starring Captain America himself, plus Iron Man, the Defenders and Dazzler. From #21, it incorporated the short lived weekly Marvel Action, with the Defenders being replaced by the Fantastic Four, and with #37 it incorporated Marvel Super Adventure, and changed to a new format with a glossy cover rather than the original newsprint, and eight colour pages (including covers and centre pages). The centrefold was sometimes given over to a pull out poster. The title lasted 59 issues, to the 3rd of April 1982, and there was also a 52 page Captain America Summer Special issued in 1981. The first two issues included free gifts of superhero stickers, while issue 37 gave away a free Captain Britain mask. Marvel UK and Grandreams also issued a hardback Captain America Collectors Edition (in the same format as their usual annuals) in 1981, featuring reprints of classic Captain America stories drawn by artist Jim Steranko.

A previous 28 page Captain America reprint title was published in 1954 by L.Miller & Son, though this seems to have only lasted one issue.
