Reprints: Captain Marvel (Marvel, 1968 series) #36 (January 1975)
Notes: The feature was created at the request of publisher Martin Goodman to secure the name Captain Marvel away from the competition. The appropriation occurred in three steps: Marvel Super-Heroes featuring Captain Marvel (December 1967), then Marvel's Space-Born Superhero! Captain Marvel #1 (May 1968), then Captain Marvel #7 (November 1968). In the introduction to Captain Marvel Masterworks volume 5, Roy Thomas informs us that a TV producer wanted a science-fictional hero named Captain Marvel to develop as a TV animation series. Nevertheless, contrastingly with the feature name, the narrative voice only calls the character "Captain Mar-Vell". This feature shows influence by the TV series Star Trek (1966-1969) and The Invaders (1967-1968). Accordingly with the main character's status as an alien spy, his spaceman costume is green, a color typically associated in this era with super-villains and threats to the human race.
