Captain Britain salutes you!

 

Like many of us here, I was very sad to hear about Herb Trimpe's recent passing.

 

Whilst most people will remember Herb for his illustrious run on the Hulk (of which I'm also fan), I'll always be grateful for his work on Captain Britain - the character he co-created with Chris Claremont specially made for the Marvel UK.

 

Whilst I never got the chance to meet him, I was recently lucky enough to pick up a piece of his original art from his Captain Britain run (below - Captain Britain Page 3 Issue 16 Vol. 1 from 1976 by Herb Trimpe featuring the first meeting of Captain Britain and Captain America; billed as the "Battle of the Century").

 

Farewell Herb, thank you for all those amazing memories.

Last Year at the Phoenix Con I was able to chat with Herb and his with for almost a half hour. He was one of the most down to earth people I have met over the years. My two sons got to speak with him and talk about the old days. I was deeply saddened to hear of his passing. Not only did we lose a Legend but we also lost a super nice guy. RIP Mr. Trimpe!
