Carol Danvers, also known as Captain Marvel, has been called a feminist icon and perhaps the most powerful Avenger. She was created by writer Roy Thomas and artist Gene Colan, first appearing in March 1968 in Marvel Super-Heroes #13. In January 1977, she became the first incarnation of Ms. Marvel. She was also featured in her own self-titled series in the late 1970s before her association with The Avengers and the X-Men.
Next March, Marvel Studios will release Captain Marvel, starring award-winning actress Brie Larson (Room, Free Fire, Kong: Skull Island). If you can’t wait that long, there is good news.
Marvel will celebrate Captain Marvel’s 50th anniversary this summer with a series of variant covers. These variants will feature art by John Tyler Christopher, Kate Niemczyk and more.
