Captain Marvel v2 #34 - Jim Starlin art & cover

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 stands victorious over Captain Marvel, conveying utter devastation and defeat. The two figures are perfectly positioned and foreshortened, while the horizon tilts wildly for dramatic effect. This is number 10 of 12 Captain Marvel issues with Starlin art and/or covers. See today's posts or more Starlin or Captain Marvel issues.
