About the series
In the early 2000s, Marvel's Essential line offered budget-friendly, black-and-white reprints of classic superhero sagas, and this two-volume set collects the original 1970s adventures of Captain Marvel. Featuring the cosmic hero's definitive run by writers Roy Thomas and Steve Englehart, with dynamic art by Gil Kane and Al Milgrom, these issues chronicle the Kree warrior's clashes with the Hulk and his complex partnership with a young Carol Danvers. A must-read for fans of Bronze Age cosmic Marvel, it preserves the foundational stories that would later shape Danvers’ own journey to becoming Captain Marvel.
