While all four of these characters have become Marvel icons since originally debuting in 1976, their paths have seldom crossed over, save for Nova and Star-Lord’s long shared history as Guardians of the Galaxy. Bullseye, first introduced in the pages of DAREDEVIL (1964) #131 by Marv Wolfman and Bob Brown, never misses an opportunity to take on a contract or show off his skills.

Editor Mark Paniccia said about the

“You might find this one of the strangest assemblies in comics but pitting Bullseye against three characters who could punt him into the sun is one of the coolest hooks ever.

MARVEL GOLD is about assembling the best talent to celebrate these characters with big swings, great stories, and a fresh spotlight that reminds readers why they’ve endured for decades.”

Star-Lord, aka Peter Jason Quill, first appeared in MARVEL PREVIEW (1975) #4 from creators Steve Englehart and Steve Gan.

Writer Stephanie Phillips added:

“It was such an exciting opportunity to write a story that celebrates these characters and their legacies, which have helped shape not just comics, but pop culture as a whole,” . “I can’t wait for readers to dig into this action-packed story and see the incredible artwork from Madibek Musabekov!”
