Soon, nearly every story I wrote for Marvel Comics (save for a Master of Kung Fu, all issues of which I believe are in limbo due to rights questions with the Sax Rohmer estate) will be back in print. That’s because on June 24, 2014, Marvel Masterworks: Captain Marvel Volume 5 will be published, collecting my seven-issue run of the space-born superhero Mar-Vell, bookended by a few issues created by others.

Here’s the cover, which uses art from Captain Marvel #50, in which I separated Mar-Vell and Rick Jones.

And here’s an alternate cover, which I believe is for those who’d prefer their volume to carry the numbering system of the complete Marvel Masterworks run, rather than that of the individual title.

Since my issues make up the bulk of the book, Marvel invited me to write an introduction in which I’d reminisce about my time in the Bullpen and put my work in context, but after giving it a great deal of thought, I decided to pass on the offer … which is a story for another time.

Hope you’ll track down a copy and see what I was up to back in the days when I wrote comics.
