I remember this ad. It is a pity Captain Marvel never recovered after the Stern Run. She had really had potential, to become a heroine like Storm, thanks to Machio and Simonson that is not the case.
Agreed. Stern had developed such a wonderful arc for her that stretched over several years to really have her become a leader. After Stern left, there didn't seem to be much interest in the character which is a pity.
Actually, Monica is receiving another "comeback" opportunity, of sorts, in the 2013 "Mighty Avengers" title, along with Luke Cage and the White Tiger. I bought the first issue, but it wasn't very good. CM has straightened her hair, and changed her name (again!) to Spectrum.

Thanks for the heads up Starfoxxx, I'll have to check it out!
ReplyDeleteSuch a cool house ad--- I really liked the design "fonts" for THOR and IRON MAN (with rivets!).back then (early 80s, the good ole days.)
ReplyDeleteThat would be a pretty sweet line-up, right there. Hey MARVEL!, wake up and lets get a classic Avengers line-up again!
