American Update: The Good Doctor Collection: Mighty Marvel Firsts: Debut of Carol Danvers in Marvel Super-Heroes #13
*Marvel: In the year 1968, the ‘tryout’ title Marvel Super-Heroes #12 saw the debut of Captain Marvel, a warrior of the spacefaring Kree Empire who masqueraded as a human on Earth. In issue #13, his second appearance, a new member of the Captain’s supporting cast was introduced: Carol Danvers, even when a civilian, was a former USAF officer who was the head of security at a restricted military base – an unusual post for a woman in 1968. When her DNA later got merged with the alien genome of the Captain (happens all the time when you hang around supers) she gained powers of her own, becoming the first Ms. Marvel, and then – after brief forays as ‘Binary’ and ‘Warbird’, of which we do not speak – the current holder of the Captain Marvel title. Carol has a convoluted history in the comics and also in the MCU, where she has made many appearances. This Good Doctor copy is a reasonable cents copy of her debut, the squarebound spine intact but for a 1 cm split at the base. Cover is nice, with a few short colour breaking creases along the spine and top and bottom right corners. Staples are firm and tight, a little corner blunting, but nice off-white to creamy pages.
