Captain Bowman

A minor but memorable face from Marvel's Bronze Age, Captain Bowman stepped onto the scene in 1979's The Incredible Hulk #239, brought to life by the stellar creative team of Roger Stern and Sal Buscema during one of that title's most celebrated runs. With only a handful of appearances across 1979–1981, Bowman is a compact supporting player in the sprawling, tumultuous world surrounding the Green Goliath, sharing those chaotic pages with the likes of Hulk, Bruce Banner, and S.H.I.E.L.D. operative Clay Quartermain. For collectors who love hunting the texture and depth of Bronze Age Marvel — the soldiers, scientists, and authority figures who populate the edges of its biggest stories — Captain Bowman is exactly the kind of find that rewards a careful read.
