☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeThis volume kicks off the Marvel Masterworks series dedicated to the original Captain Marvel, collecting the earliest adventures of Mar-Vell, the Kree warrior sent to Earth as a spy who becomes its defender. It includes his debut in Marvel Super-Heroes #12, his first ongoing series, and early encounters with foes like the Super-Skrull and allies like Carol Danvers, laying the groundwork for his cosmic legacy.
In "The Coming of Captain Marvel!", Mar-Vell finds himself caught between loyalty and deception as Colonel Yon-Rogg's schemes escalate, leading to the death of bystander Walter Lawson. Taking on Lawson's identity and infiltrating a military base, Mar-Vell must navigate a dangerous web of secrets—until a dormant Kree Sentry is reactivated by Yon-Rogg, threatening the base and forcing Mar-Vell to act. Written by Roy Thomas and brought to life with dynamic art by Gene Colan, inks by Paul Reinman, and colors by Stan Goldberg, this landmark issue features a striking cover by Gene Colan and Frank Giacoia.
When Mar-Vell takes on the identity of the late Walter Lawson to infiltrate a military base, he’s caught off guard by a sudden threat: a dormant Kree Sentry, reactivated by Colonel Yon-Rogg, now rampaging through the facility. With his cover at risk and the base in peril, Mar-Vell must navigate the chaos while staying one step ahead of both the machine and the man who set it loose.
In "null," Mar-Vell, now posing as Walter Lawson at a military base, navigates the fragile cover of his new identity while Yon-Rogg’s schemes unfold in the shadows. When a dormant Kree Sentry is discovered and reactivated by the cunning Kree commander, Mar-Vell must confront the deadly machine—and the growing danger of his own deception—before it’s too late.
