Synapsis

Emerging from the Copper Age imagination of the legendary creative duo Chris Claremont and Alan Davis, Synapsis made their debut in 1989's Un Récit Complet Marvel #23 — a French-market publication from Panini France that placed this character squarely in the rich, otherworldly tapestry of the Captain Britain corner of the Marvel universe. Across a catalog presence stretching into 2013, Synapsis shares the page with some genuinely iconic company: the imperious Opal Luna Saturnyne, Betsy Braddock, Brian Braddock himself, and the Captain Britain legacy in full force. It's a rarefied circle, and that alone signals this is a character worth seeking out for any serious devotee of the British Marvel tradition. Collectors hunting the Claremont/Davis era at its most atmospheric and expansive will find Synapsis a distinctive piece of that puzzle.
