Captain Marvel v2 #34 - Jim Starlin art & cover + 1st Nitro

Jim Starlin

7.  Captain Marvel v2 #34, 1974 - In a battle whose consequences would result in The Death of Captain Marvel, Jim Starlin's distinctive pencils would mostly suffer due to insensitive inking. The story's pacing and sequencing are a step down from previous issues, although the jarring explosion on the center spread is a worthy attempt. By contrast, Starlin's cover is outstanding in form and composition. Nitro (making his first appearance) stands victorious over a soundly defeated Captain Marvel. The two figures are perfectly positioned and foreshortened, while the horizon tilts for dramatic effect. This Steve Englehart story was later reprinted in Life of Captain Marvel #5. This is 10 of 12 Captain Marvel v2 issues by Starlin. /// key 1st appearance, 1st cover Nitro / original cover / Top 10 Starlin comics / Starlin gallery
