Cap in the UK: The Titans Pocket Books


More Captain America as seen in the United Kingdom. This series was from 1980 and 1981 and featured not just Cap but Iron Man and Thor in glorious black and white, digest sized, and reprints from the 1960s with the TALES OF SUSPENSE & JOURNEY INTO MYSTERY/THOR books.

The "Titans" title is interesting and looks very much like the New Teen Titans logo that DC started to use for the return of that book in 1980. Marvel was actually using that title and logo in the 1970s for a weekly larger Marvel UK title that did sometimes have Cap in it as well. I guess, because it was a different country, they could get away with the title, even though at this point with DC it was still the TEEN Titans, and perhaps the title "The Avengers" would still be confused with the John Steed television show in the UK.
