Captain Marvel (1968) A most Mar-Vellous Thread (Part One - Silver Awesomeness) 1 1

[djpinkpanther67]

This thread is dedicated to the Silver Age era of my favorite superhero, Captain Mar-Vell.  

Truth be told, I preferred the BA version of Captain Marvel, as that was the version I grew up reading. The first one I ever read was #31.

I knew absolutely nothing about his older ugly Kree uniform and silver hair until I started getting the back issues. I also wasn’t aware of the past title cancellations until one of the LCS owners (Apache Comics) gave me a pretty good history of them.
After reading the entire title three times now, I can say with certainty that the Silver Age portion was not my favorite. I think they could have done better with the character. I’m glad they finally got rid of the Walter Lawson angle. Carol Danvers has come a long way as a character.

After nearly a decade and two previous efforts, I have finally completed the SA portion of the title (#’s 1 - 21) in CGC 9.8. 

Note - I do not consider MSH 12 & 13 as part of the actual CM title, though they are his first two appearances. I will post my copies regardless 🙂

This thread focuses on the MSH 12 & 13, 1-21 of the CM title. Other SA appearances in the Silver Age includes Sub- Mariner 30 and Avengers 72.  The CM title was cancelled a couple months before Conan 1 came out. It restarted near the end of ‘72.

I will be starting a Part Two thread in the BA section soon for #’s 22-62

Thanks for looking 🙂

#’s 1-16. That ugly green uniform has got to GO!

#15 is one of my favorite covers of the title.

Agreed!!! I still need to finish the run though, so maybe under the radar for the rest of the year?
