MIGHTY MARVEL MASTERWORKS CAPTAIN MARVEL Volume 1

Watch the skies! Captain Marvel, the space-born super hero, is coming! Branded a traitor by the vicious Col. Yon-Rogg for defending the people of Earth, Captain Mar-Vell assumes the human identity of Walter Lawson and becomes our planet’s protector against an awesome array of interstellar enemies. The massive Sentry #459, the savage Super-Skrull, Prince Namor the Sub-Mariner, and Quasimodo the Living Computer all wage war against Captain Marvel here in his very first adventures. There’s plenty of drama, too, with the lovely Medic Una and Carol Danvers each catching the Kree Captain’s eye. Crafted by top talents of the Marvel Age, this one’s certifiably out of this world. And this of course was Marvel's way to snap up the name that was so ubiquitous throughout the 1940s from Fawcett, outselling Superman for quite some time! But what did they do with ol' Cap...they killed him off in the famous graphic novel which I assume will be collected later on...then of course they resurrected CM as a new female hero, and the rest is history. Also collects material from Not Brand Echh #9, 1967.
