3. Captain Marvel, The comic book superhero, set to star in her own movie next March, apparently has a summer home in the midcoast town of Harpswell. You can read all about it when the new five-part comic book series “The Life of Captain Marvel” goes on sale Wednesday. Writer Margaret Stohl has spent summer vacations at a friend’s house in Harpswell for the past six or seven years and finds the place “inspiring.” An image in the first issue of the series shows the Giant’s Stairs, a landmark rock formation on Bailey Island in Harpswell. In another scene, Danvers is shown soaring over and under the Bailey Island Bridge – also known as the Cribstone Bridge – that links Orr’s and Bailey islands. There’s an image of a doughnut shop called Sugar’s Donuts, which Stohl based on Frosty’s Donuts in nearby Brunswick.
