And looking through the second volume of Ms.Marvel [around 2009] I also noticed Aaron Lopresti – the artist on WW during Simone’s run – did a couple of issues. He drew a fab Ms.Marvel.

Yeah, I’d really like to check out the early Miss Marvel issues!! I’ve seen them mentioned in some articles/interviews about the new book, and they sound really cool. I should see if my LCS has the Essential Ms. Marvel collection. It would be fascinating to see how she compares to Wonder Woman during that era.

Can i also say that when she was created in 1977, Ms. Marvel was actually pitched as Marvels version of Wonder Woman; Ive followed her for years, a fabulous character, so strong and stridently feminist.
I do urge you to seek out the aforementioned issues in my previous post…she is fabulous!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Ive always been a massive Ms.Marvel fan from way back when….I bought the first sixteen issues of her original book in the late 70s. Then around the time her second volume came out around 2007 [I think] i got the Essential edition which brought me up to speed on what I missed. Her second run ruined her image slightly when she became a soldier for Civil War and then her remaining issues were marred by the other SHIELD agents she was in charge of.
So I am really looking forward very, very much to this third run.
