American Update: The ‘Cosmic’ Captain Marvel Cometh – Issues #25 to #33
*Marvel: Writer/Artist Jim Starlin, together with scripter Mike Friedrich, took the Captain Marvel character, largely moribund by the early 1970s, and placed him on a galactic canvas, in the process opening up a much broader horizon for the Marvel Universe. Opinion remains divided, but the balance of judgement falls on this having been A Good Thing, allowing for such cosmic crossovers as the decades-later Infinity Gauntlet and its offspring. Having introduced most of the major players in Iron Man #55, Starlin developed Thanos and his fellow Titans into significant figures, and these issues laid the groundwork. This run comprises #25-33 complete, with the second, third and other early appearances of Thanos, as well as guests Mentor, Eros, the Destroyer, Moondragon, the Thing and the Avengers.
