X-Men Apocalypse Week: Psylocke

X-Men Apocalypse opens tomorrow and we're getting ready here at CollecTwins with posts on the horsemen from the film. We've already hit on Storm and Archangel this week, and today we're going with the X-Men's resident answer to Elektra, the one and only Psylocke.

Here are some great Psylocke collectibles

The Psylocke key comics:

Captain Britain Vol. 1 #8 (1976), New Mutants Annual #2 (1986) and X-Men #256 (1989)

Captain Britain Vol. 1 #8

New Mutants Annual #2

X-Men #256

Psylocke (Betsy Braddock) is the twin brother of Captain Britain (Brian Braddock), and when she first appeared, she was more of a "Pride and Prejudice" kind of british hero with bee-hive pink hair. Her first appearance overall was in Captain Britain Vol. 1 #8, and her first appearance in American comics was in New Mutants Annual #2. Later, Marvel re-vamped her by placing her mind in the body of a female Japanese ninja, hence the major change of look and ultimate popularity of the character. This started in X-Men #256.

This original piece from the talented Craig Drake was at one time available from Mondo for the slim price tag of $1200. Gone now, but a pleasure to look at.
