MARIKA CRESTA : Inspiring! Working together with a writer who is himself an artist allowed for a really interesting exchange of ideas. What has the collaborative process on CAPTAIN CARTER been like for both of you? Peggy wasn't on the table at that point, but I think my answers gave a clue that I might be interested in this series. I guess it went down well enough that I was asked what other characters I might be interested in writing down the line. JAMIE MCKELVIE : I'd just written my first story for Marvel-a short in CAPTAIN MARVEL (2019) #30. Jamie, how did you come to be involved with this project as the writer?

Hopefully we’ll see more adventures from her down the line.Ĭaptain Carter: Woman Out of Time is out now from Marvel (9781302946555, p/b, £15.We spoke to series writer McKelvie and interior artist Cresta in the aftermath to CAPTAIN CARTER #1 about this unique assignment and what readers can expect for the rest of the series! This is a brilliant integration of Captain Carter into the comic format and is very accessible to readers old and new. Outside of the action, this is quite a plot heavy series, so we get to see her really excel when it comes to the character moments, with Peggy Carter trying to fit in to a modern Britain outside of her superhero garb bringing some of the best parts. There’s lot of dynamic action and it is thrilling to see a modern UK depicted in a Marvel series. He also has a fun version of Tony Stark who is more akin to the Howard Stark of the past than Iron Man. (the UK equivalent of S.H.I.E.L.D.) which fits the narrative perfectly. In addition, McKelvie delves into classic Marvel material, with Elizabeth Braddock (Psylocke from the X-Men) calling back to her early Captain Britain days as a member of S.T.R.I.K.E. Especially when she sees the government wants to use her as a way to further their cause. Peggy’s coming to terms with the political climate and her trying to find her place in the modern world are the series strongest points. There’s some clever generational gap examination as she is unwittingly manipulated by the rather dubious prime minister which brings her into conflict with her neighbour and friend Harley – a DJ/hacker. Whilst she enjoys the food and improved technology, the music and entertainment has largely passed her by, and she still finds plenty of sexism in the workplace despite her living legend status. McKelvie excels at the fish-out-of-water approach of the series as Peggy struggle to adjust to the modern world. That’s not to say McKelvie has no writing chops (his 2007 series Suburban Glamour is an underrated gem) as he proves to be a strong fit for this series. This time round, he only provides cover art with illustrations being handled by Marika Cresta. Handling the writing is Jamie McKelvie who most readers will know as an artist from acclaimed collaborations with Kieron Gillen on Phonogram, Young Avengers and The Wicked + The Divine as well as designing costumes for Ms. With an awesome costume and origin story, the already fan-favourite character Peggy Carter got a new lease on life with the show which led to her live-action appearance in Doctor Strange: The Multiverse of Madness and now this comic series.
Marvel’s animated anthology series on What if…? on Disney+ produced many memorable moments and concepts, but the one with arguably the most staying power and popularity has definitely been Captain Carter. Can Peggy trust what she’s being told, or is someone trying to use her as a high-profile pawn in a game she doesn’t yet understand? to investigate the sudden resurgence of Hydra, something doesn’t feel quite right. Everyone with an agenda wants Captain Carter on their side, but what does Peggy want? As she teams with S.T.R.I.K.E.
