Notes:
The feature was created at the instance of publisher Martin Goodman to secure the name Captain Marvel away from the competition. The appropriation occurred in three steps: Marvel Super-Heroes featuring Captain Marvel (December 1967), then Marvel's Space-Born Superhero! Captain Marvel #1 (May 1968), then Captain Marvel #7 (November 1968). In the introduction to the first collected volume, Roy Thomas reveals that a TV producer wanted a science-fictional hero named Captain Marvel to develop as a TV animation series.
Nevertheless contrastingly with the feature name, the narrative voice calls the character "Captain Mar-Vell" and that's the character's official name.
This feature shows influence by the TV series Star Trek (1966-1969) and The Invaders (1967-1968). Accordingly with the main character's status as an alien spy, the green color of his spaceman costume was typically associated in this era with super-villains and threats to the human race.
Mar-Vell enters "Marvel" in the hotel log. Otherwise he's referred as Captain Mar-Vell by other characters (pages 2, 4).
