From what i recall , originally, these three issues were to be a marvel treasury special, that tied into the 1980 olympics.When Carter had America boycott the olympics that year, the book was put on the shelf.It was edited then into these three issues, and Captain Mar-vell was then morphed into "Le Peregrine", because by the time these books hit the stands, They had snuffed Mar-vell.

Great info on what has to be one of the worst heroes ever. Glad that Mar-vel was saved from the imposition. Also, wonderful info on the series! Thanks!

I read this series when it came out and remember almost nothing about it. EXCEPT the end where the Collector returns and cries out , " Ho! Death! ". That was so impressive, calling Death herself like they're neighbors or co-workers.

Grandmaster is a damn liar: he recently used Earth in another contest in the Avengers: No Surrender storyline. Just once I'd like to see him use the Skrulls or the Shi'ar or some other alien races.
@Cosmic.Comics6 жыл бұрын
I forget the when and why off the top of my head but at some point he was released from that promise. Supposedly he does use other races for contest - I think that Earth has slowly become his favorite. And well, comic authors do like to make us the center of everything. It would be cool to see the Skrulls or somebody else lose a contest to him and have an entire planet somewhere go under his control or such. So I'm definitely game.

@Cosmic.Comics6 жыл бұрын
Awesome, thanks for the sub and kind words!! I haven't done the follow up. This is where is I'm at for the moment with the Elders. I am looking forward to their evolving saga and games with Lady Death. The issue you are looking for where the Grand Master and Death show down once more is Avengers Annual Vol 1 Issue 16. Moving forward with the next set of vids will be Captain Marvel --> Kree-Skrull War --> Thanos --> Inhumans --> Maelstrom. I might decide to do the Squadron Supreme Limited Series at any point in time as I've been teasing it for over a year. I could also duck down any number of rabbit holes such as the aforementioned Avengers Annual. In the mean time I keep working on the marvel hierarchy series but the next one of those (Cosmic Abstracts) is heavy research and won't be out for awhile. Look for content creation to pick up again in the fall when I have some free time.

Issue 3 of this series was my first comic book purchase of all time! ALL TIME!...leading to a lifelong problem. Sigh. Nevertheless, the series sets up the *lack of teamwork* as a problem, a recurring theme even, but it never pays off. Every team has the members break off, someone internally remarks on the lack of teamwork, and yet there's no teamworking group that absolutely kills it offered for contrast. WTF, Gruenwald??

@benjaminkellog73115 жыл бұрын
I suspect there's a cynical reason six of the twenty-four slots were filled with new international heroes. I remember reading "Contest of Champions" tied in to a toy line Mattel was putting out; the toy company likely requested more diversity among the available characters, and Marvel invented six new characters to compensate. Also, this isn't exactly without precedent in Marvel history. The expansion of the X-Men in 1975 was intended to introduce a bunch of new heroes who hailed from places where Marvel wanted to expand into new markets, like Germany (Nightcrawler), the African subcontinent (Storm), and a stronger foothold in Canada (Wolverine). Part of me feels this might also be a bit of a dig at DC, whose TV show "Superfriends" introduced a few new characters for diversity's sake (Black Vulcan, Samurai, El Diablo, etc.).
@Cosmic.Comics5 жыл бұрын
I wish I could remember the details but did run across the reasoning behind the international characters in an interview or an old letters page. I am wanting to say you are pretty close - diversity / marketing / throwing stuff out there and hoping it might stick. Ah, the heroes whose tales were never finished. If I could get ahead on the stuff I want to do for the channel episodes like that would fun. Solar Man comes to mind.

The new characters are what you call jobbers. Using pro wrestling logic, you can't have a major marvel character get a victory over another character of equal stature. That's why the Thing was riding Black Panther. Wolverine beat Panthers ass in front of everybody
