American Update: Marvel 1968: ‘Out of the Holocaust… A Hero!’; Captain Marvel’s #1 issue
*Marvel: Following his tryouts in Marvel Super-Heroes #12 & #13, Mar-Vell, the Kree warrior sent to conquer Earth from within, got his own series in Marvel’s 1968 expansion year, chock-a-block with intrigue as his superior officers schemed to overcome the planet, and Captain Marvel played a double game. Overtly a good soldier complying with his superior officers, he secretly strove to thwart their agenda, as he came to sympathise more with Earthlings, primarily in the form of Carol Danvers, the security agent who would, decades down the line, take over the role of Captain Marvel herself. This copy of Captain Marvel #1 is a FN p copy, beautiful unmarred purple cover background, high gloss, only a tiny ‘bump’ on the lower left corner bringing its overall grade slightly down. On sale at £40. SORRY, THIS HAS NOW SOLD
