NotesMar-vell goes through a metamorphosis that changes his hair blond, alterations to his costume, a universal sense & photonic powers. In this issue, Captain Marvel is first granted the Protector of the Universe title, his cosmic awareness, and other internal changes. He also undergoes a few external changes, including his hair color changing from white to blonde. The cover was originally drawn by Starlin and Milgrom with Romita redrawing Captain Marvel's head. This iconic Jim Starlin cover for this issue has been used in various Marvel merchandising especially in the 1970's. This includes Mar-Vell's 1974 Series "A" Marvel Value Stamp #9, [1] and his 1975 Slurpee cup from the 7-11 convenience store chain.
