Smrt Kapetana Marvela

by Jim Starlin, Steve Englehart, Doug Moench

TVOJE VREME JE PROŠLO.

Kapetan Marvel je heroj iz hiljadu bitaka, ali jednu borbu i najmoćniji moraju da izgube. Rođenjem je bio predodređen da bude ratnik krijeva, a sudbina mu je nametnula ulogu zaštitnika Zemlje. Kada zločinac Nitro ukrade smrtonosno biološko oružje američke vojske, Kapetan Marvel mu, uz pomoć Rika Džounsa, osujeti planove. Ali time je započeo sled događaja koji će dovesti do – smrti Kapetana Marvela. Džim Starlin je tokom karijere iznedrio mnoštvo impresivnih priča i likova „kosmičkog“ Marvela – poznat je kao tvorac Tanosa, Gamore, Nebule i Draksa – ali nijedna priča čiji je tvorac ne može se meriti sa emotivnom snagom Smrti Kapetana Marvela, jedne od najupečatljivijih priča iz Marvelovog univerzuma, poznate po tome što opisuju retku „pravu“ smrt nekog superheroja...

About the author

James P. "Jim" Starlin is an American comic book writer and artist. With a career dating back to the early 1970s, he is best known for "cosmic" tales and space opera; for revamping the Marvel Comics characters Captain Marvel and Adam Warlock; and for creating or co-creating the Marvel characters Thanos and Shang-Chi, Master of Kung Fu. Death and suicide are recurring themes in Starlin's work: Personifications of Death appeared in his Captain Marvel series and in a fill-in story for Ghost Rider; Warlock commits suicide by killing his future self; and suicide is a theme in a story he plotted and drew for The Rampaging Hulk magazine.

In the mid-1970s, Starlin contributed a cache of stories to the independently published science-fiction anthology Star Reach. Here he developed his ideas of God, death, and infinity, free of the restrictions of mainstream comics publishers' self-censorship arm, the Comics Code Authority. Starlin also drew "The Secret of Skull River", inked by frequent collaborator Al Milgrom, for Savage Tales #5 (July 1974).

When Marvel Comics wished to use the name of Captain Marvel for a new, different character,[citation needed] Starlin was given the rare opportunity to produce a one-shot story in which to kill off a main character. The Death of Captain Marvel became the first graphic novel published by the company itself. (

In the late 1980s, Starlin began working more for DC Comics, writing a number of Batman stories, including the four-issue miniseries Batman: The Cult (Aug.-Nov. 1988), and the storyline "Batman: A Death in the Family", in Batman #426-429 (Dec. 1988 – Jan. 1989), in which Jason Todd, the second of Batman's Robin sidekicks, was killed. The death was decided by fans, as DC Comics set up a hotline for readers to vote on as to whether or not Jason Todd should survive a potentially fatal situation. For DC he created Hardcore Station.
