There have been some false alarms over the years, but Mar-Vell remains one of the few heroes to die in comics and remain dead, even decades later. I am glad that the integrity of his story has been kept intact - but I wouldn't mind seeing some new stories featuring him in flashback tales from his prime.

This is an absolutely brilliant notion Ross. If this STF issue actually existed it would fly off the shelves so fast it'd be near impossible to lay your hands a copy. If anyone could bring the original Captain Marvel (Marvel) back, then it would be Swampy.
I've never really forgiven Marvel for bumping him off (and seemingly permanently) all those years ago. It started - IMO - an unwelcome trend - Supergirl and Barry Allen Flash followed.
But they - and Superman - eventually made it back. So why not Mar-Vell?
@Davejonz: if this were an actual comic story, I would guess that the Swamp Thing plans to make a phyto-genetic clone of Mar-Vell. The same thing that the Elder Cotati did for the Swordsman on behalf of the original Mantis. That is, the kick-butt Eurasian martial artist from the 1970's!. Not the fortune-telling concubine from outer space.
Mar-Vell will remain dead and Aunt May will never die.
