"The Most COSMIC Superhero of All!"
The phrase on that comic book cover captured my attention many years ago. It was then that I picked up and read Captain Marvel. I was hooked! It was a refreshing change from the usual Spider-Man/Fantastic Four titles I was accustomed to reading. I quickly became a fan of the Kree Warrior!
I enjoyed the evolution of the title and Mar-vell's development. He went through many changes, though not all just cosmetic - from the ugly green Kree Captain's uniform, to gaining the Nega Bands and a striking new outfit. It was soon after this that Jim Starlin ushered in a new metamorphosis of Mar-Vell. Eon allowed him a way to abandon the way of the Kree Warrior, to gain Cosmic Awareness, and become the Protector of the Universe.
The Thanos War is one of my favorite storylines of the Bronze Age. Not only was Mar-Vell a key player in the Cosmic Cube War, he also had a major impact in the Soul Gem War.
Which brings me last (but not least), to Marvel Graphic Novel #1 - The Death of Captain Marvel. It is my all time favorite Bronze Age story. Starlin scripted the death of the character he gave relevance to with dignity, class and compassion.
Captain Marvel - Marvel's Spaceborn Superhero, will always remain one of my beloved titles!
