Item Description
Marvel Comics' publication of the title CAPTAIN MARVEL hit quite a few roadblocks on the way to the printers, after DC Comics acquired the rights to the original Fawcett character Capt. Marvel and sued to prevent him from appearing in their rival's comics. But MARVEL prevailed with a totally different take on the character, and the stage was cleared for his 58-issue run at 'The House of Ideas'!Here in CAPTAIN MARVEL #17, Roy Thomas and Gil Kane present a reincarnation of CAPT. MARVEL and set up the longest-lasting iteration of the character out of nearly half a dozen different identities! Trapped in the Negative Zone, MARVEL manages to communicate with Rick Jones, who is upset over his dismissal as Captain America's sidekick! Jones is led to two heavy 'bracelets' and compelled to put them on -- and when he strikes them over his head, he exchanges atoms with the prisoner Capt. MARVEL and temporarily becomes the tight-suited superhero!
(This is a clever nod to how in the Golden Age, young Billy Batson would say the magic word "SHAZAM!" and be instantly transformed into the Captain Matvel of that era - 'The Big Red Cheese!)
CAPTAIN AMERICA makes an appearance in this issue (but - ssshhhh - is really the Red Skull masquerading as Cap!)
This is a nice copy of a 52-year old comic, with a strong binding, supple pages, glossy covers and no apparent defects or blemishes. There are no ragged edges, just mildly worn corners. We're grading it a 6.0 FN , for which Overstreet suggests a price of $24 due to this being the first appearance of the 'NEW' CAPTAIN MARVEL and the cameo appearance of 'Captain America' (wink wink). We're going to make this issue a bit more affordable for you at just $17 . . with our always-L•O•W shipping of only $2!
And no extra shipping charge for additional purchases!
