☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeThis second Essential volume collects the cosmic adventures of Mar-Vell, the original Captain Marvel, from the late 1970s and early 1980s. It includes his battles against Thanos, the Super-Skrull, and other galactic threats, as well as his deepening connection to Rick Jones and the legacy of the Kree hero. The collection also features key appearances by Adam Warlock, Drax the Destroyer, and the Silver Surfer, culminating in the iconic 'Death of Captain Marvel' storyline.
In "To Live Again!", Captain Marvel and Rick Jones return to Earth only to face a haunting threat: a space creature that has reanimated the body of Captain Marvel’s late lover, Una. Written by Steve Englehart and Al Milgrom, with art by Al Milgrom and inks by Al McWilliams, this emotionally charged tale explores loss and legacy. The cover, by Jim Starlin and Klaus Janson, captures the weight of that moment.
In "The Bite of the Blood Brothers!" from Essential Captain Marvel #2, the Thing races across the New Mexico desert, only to stumble upon a brutal clash between the Blood Brothers and Iron Man—each fighting with deadly intent, and both seemingly under the dark command of Thanos.
In "Rocky Mountain 'Bye!," Captain Marvel faces a haunting confrontation when a space creature animates the body of his late lover, Una, forcing him to fight a battle that blurs the line between memory and menace. After the dust settles, he and Rick Jones realize Earth holds no more ties for them—leaving the planet behind to chart a new course among the stars.
