#Captain marvel superhero creator 2.0 series

A historically important series that became immensely popular during this period, there are a number of early issues of the Whiz Comics series up for auction at the 2021 November 28-29 Sunday & Monday Comic Books Select Auction #122148 at Heritage Auctions. Of course, even the notion of the Lieutenant Marvels plays into this military theme.Д®arly numbers of Whiz Comics include several examples of obvious war themes, and while the contents don't always match the interior Captain Marvel stories, several issues do feature Sivana and other villains attempting to take over America and/or the entire Earth via military campaigns or other means. The across-the-chest buttoning found in the original Captain Marvel design also appears based on military styles which can be found in Hussar and other styles of uniforms. The cut and style of the cape does indeed appear to be inspired by styles that can be found in various Hussar uniforms, right down to the design at the cape's edges.

After having been in the ROTC program at Princeton, he joined Squadron AВ - an exclusive volunteer troop cavalry and political club which began life as the New York Hussars.В Parker seems to have been the formative voice in the creation of Fawcett's Captain Marvel, and while it's been suggested that he contributed specifics of the costume - such as the lightning bolt and the style of cape - a comparison of some specifics of the costume to various Hussar uniforms reveals a few more specific details. Captain Marvel creator and writer William Lee ParkerВ appears to have been a student of military history and perhaps even local New York area military history. It's an under-discussed aspect of Captain Marvel that a character with a military rank in his name - and a costume that was sort of a cross between a traditional superhero outfit and a military uniform in the earliest issues - was certainly meaningful during this period.
