I miss this version of the character because to me, he always looked so cool. No Marvel legacy Captain Marvel character that followed ever had that staying power.Neil A.

He and Gil Kane were a magnificent pairing. The power and beauty just ooze from panel to panel. Roy Thomas, with his love of the Golden Age, makes this Captain Marvel an homage to the Fawcett version with the bracelets/body switching of Rick Jones in the negative zone. This change lasted for years and created many great story lines, particularly after Starlin took over and began his classic run.keythd23https://www.blogger.com/profile/00690368680707726203noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7897120082101927069.post-28996573569893921682016-05-31T01:16:25.157-04:002016-05-31T01:16:25.157-04:00This is a keeper, one of the first issues Gil Kane...This is a keeper, one of the first issues Gil Kane drew for Marvel in his second stab at the company and pure unadulterated Kane through and through. The up-the-nose shots are intact, the lanky anatomy is much in evidence, and the glib wiggly fingers are in your face. I love all of that stuff and this issue has it all. <br /><br />I was a big Captain Marvel fan, starting with the first issue and still prefer the green and white version, but this comic was a big big deal and saved the character...eventually. Not knowing the Big Red Cheese at the time, much of that comparison was lost on me at the time. <br /><br />Rip OffRip Jaggerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09936426877024852134noreply@blogger.com
