American Update: ‘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 following orders, he secretly strove to thwart their agenda, as he came to sympathise more with Earthlings, particularly one Carol Danvers, the security agent who would, decades down the line, take over the role of Captain Marvel herself. This is a VG p copy of Captain Marvel #1, with light to moderate wear at edges (particularly around the top staple) not detracting from the cover scene, with mostly unmarred deep purple background. On sale at £55.
