Jaspers' Warp - Collected Editions

Collected Editions

The story was originally reprinted in 1995 as a seven issue mini-series called "X-Men Archives: Captain Britain". The mini-series reprinted the story in full color for the first time.

In 2002, the colorized version of the story was collected as a trade paperback. The trade paperback, simply titled "Captain Britain". Controversially, the series omits the opening chapters of the storyline as written by writer Dave Thorpe, opting to start the story midway through with Alan Moore's first issue on Captain Britain.

Though Alan Moore gave his blessing over the reprinting of the arc, he later rescinded it when Marvel omitted crediting Alan Moore as co-creator for several characters introduced in the arc (most notably the Special Executives and the Fury). Later publications corrected this omission.

Recently Marvel has announced plans to release an Alan Moore/Alan Davis "Omnibus" hardcover of their respective works on Captain Britain. As such, the omnibus will feature the full and complete version of the "Jasper's Warp" storyline.

Die By The Sword was also collected in April 2008 (ISBN 0-7851-2791-7).

Famous quotes containing the words collected and/or editions:

    He that seeks trouble never misses.
    17th-Century English proverb, first collected in George Herbert, Outlandish Proverbs (1640)

    The next Augustan age will dawn on the other side of the Atlantic. There will, perhaps, be a Thucydides at Boston, a Xenophon at New York, and, in time, a Virgil at Mexico, and a Newton at Peru. At last, some curious traveller from Lima will visit England and give a description of the ruins of St Paul’s, like the editions of Balbec and Palmyra.
    Horace Walpole (1717–1797)
