As readers of the first Sentry event might remember, the character was an active part of Marvel’s Silver Age until he erased the entire world’s memories of his career to save us all from the Void.

As announced at the Mondo Marvel panel today at Wizard World Philadelphia, writers Jeff Parker and Paul Tobin will explore the Sentry’s early career in the pages of Age of the Sentry, a new mini-series coming from Marvel. Each of the six issues will feature two stories — one by Parker and artist Nick Dragotta, and one by Tobin and a different artist each issue — except for the last one, which will feature a full-length story by Parker and Dragotta. The first issue comes out in September.

Quesada called it a fun look at the Sentry, which makes sense, since Parker has become their go-to guy for fun as well as accessible stories.

Marvel.com has some more info on the series up on their site.

Update: The mothership talks to the book’s editor, Mark Paniccia
