Captain Marvel!

The characters on this and associated pages are mostly the property of DC Comics. However a few are owned by Britain's Len Miller & Son, Ltd. or Marvel Comics. The copyright status of Marvelman (etc.) is actually open to debate. Anyhow, none of this mess is used with any kind of permission.

Since my own particular interest in the Marvel Family revolves around their myriad international incarnations, you'll find that this web page focuses on that aspect of Fawcett's heroes.

Here you will find an extensive article and bibliography on Britain's Marvelman that first saw publication in COMIC BOOK MARKETPLACE, a fine publication to which you should subscribe ASAP.

You will also find excerpts from an amazing article by John Pierce from AMAZING HEROES all about the Marvel Family's Brazilian incarnation.

But, most importantly (and thanks to Mark Luebker who got the story, scanned, and translated it), you will find an incredible adventure of Captain Marvel as originally published in Brazil in 1963 but presented here in English for the very first time!
