5.0 out of 5 stars I was expecting the worst...
Reviewed in the United States on January 30, 2012

...but was pleasantly surprised.

Never having read the issues collected in this masterwork I was led to believe that after Jim Starlin memorable tenure on the title as both writer and artist the title went into a long tailspin that ended with cancellation. So when this title arrived I expected this to be one of those "for the completist only" or "of academic curiosity only" books.

This was not the case at all. While collectively no real match for Starlin in the imagination department, Englehart and Milgrom's issues are infused with a lot of energy. They are well paced, decently written, and while not exactly tightly plotted, keep one's interest up. They are clearly not just phoning this in. Of the two major story arcs in the book the last one where Mar-Vell and Rick have to deal with the machinations of the Kree Supreme Intelligence is quite good. The first, dealing with the Lunatic Legion and the Watcher, is not without good moments although it really didn't come to an intelligible conclusion.

Extras are minimal. There is a nice introduction by Steve Englehart, a reprint annual cover, and some original art pages.

Not the best '70s Marvel has to offer by any means but entertaining.

"Marvel Masterworks: Captain Marvel Volume 4"
(Marvel Comics, 2012)

I hadn't intended to delve back into the Captain Marvel canon -- comics I read as a kid, and was pretty sure I'd outgrown -- but I picked this volume up cheap, and gave a whirl just for kicks, and found it pretty entertaining in a nostalgic, face forward True Believer kind of way. This volume picks up in 1975, during the last of the Jim Starlin CM episodes, as artist Al Milgrom took over the book, along with writer Steve Englehart, the team that would carry the book for the next year or so... Their efforts come after Starlin's epic work of the year before -- check out Volume Three, which has some of his best writing and most impressive artwork -- and their attempts at continuing the Captain Marvel space opera pale in comparison, but are charming nonetheless.

What really makes this collection fun is its weaknesses: the melodramatic, strained writing, the psychedelic pretensions and even the cramped, cluttered artwork. It's pure slapdash '70s superhero stuff, a style that many fans have come to look back on fondly (as seen both in reissues and in affectionate modern parodies such as "Godland" and "Astro City") and I have to admit my soft spot for this material is bigger than I thought it would be. The series teeters between cosmic awe and self-parody, largely taking the less-serious route, as reflected in both the overblown writing and in the artwork, which is mostly pretty bad, though punctuated with gorgeous splash pages and imaginative layouts. Milgrom is not one of my favorite Bronze Age illustrators, but even with the rough spots, or perhaps because of them, I still found this pretty charming.

Indeed, I'd point to this as a great, even archetypal example of Marvel's journeymanlike work of the mid-1970s, when the real creative steam had largely gone out of mainstream comics, and the industry was struggling to find its new direction. The material is often strained or mundane, but sometimes there is a fervor or silliness to it that's fun. Also, looking back on this stuff as an adult, it's easier to see just how nudge-nudge, wink-wink the artists were being with their work - they clearly weren't taking it as seriously as we kids were. Worth checking out, though if you want the really good stuff, go for Volume Three instead. (DJ Joe Sixpack, ReadThatAgain comic book reviews)

The Mar-Vell Captain Marvel was my favorite Marvel character as a kid. It is great to have those stories in a collection.

A solid follow-up to Starlin's run. A fun read but these stories never match the crazed intensity that Starlin brought to the character.

4.0 out of 5 stars Good collection of vintage Captain Marvel tales from the 70's

While Captain Marvel is best remembered for Jim Starlin's Thanos epic, this collection shows the character had a lot to offer with the right talent. Writer Steve Englehart and artist Al Milgrom present some excellent stories set in Earth and in outer space. Appearances by Nitro, Drax the Destroyer, and the Kree Empire are good background material for the Captain Marvel film.

5.0 out of 5 stars STILL The greatest hero ever!
Reviewed in the United States on March 10, 2012
I actually own the issues collected here, but I am buying this volum,e simply so that I have it on hand and do not have to go searching through comic boxes for these gems when I get the urge to re-read them. Captain Marvel was my favorite all time superhero growing up. His cosmic adventures were the best kind of comic book to read to me. The stories were grand and epic and that includes the ones in this volume. Al Milgrom was a worthy succesor to Jim Starlin, and Steve Engleharts stories were magic.I'ce been awaiting this volumes release for two years since the Masterworks containing the Starlin stories was released. This is how comics were done when comics were great. These books have so much more content then we get today. Well worth buying. These stories of battles in space gave me chills as a child. I can't wait to re-read them!
