There was a time in the 1940's when "Captain Marvel" ("The World's MIghtiest Mortal") was once the even more popular than "Superman," out selling the "Mand of Steel."
This did not make the publishers of DC Comics, Harry Donnenfeld and Jack Leibowitz, happy. DC Comics took Fawcett Publications who plublished "Captain Marvel" to court claiming that Captain Marvel was an infringement of the copyrights to "Superman."
The court ruled in favor of Fawcett Publications finding ... Read More

Captain (Shazam!) Marvel was a character from 1939-1953 for Fawcett Comics before being resurrected in 1972 by DC Comics. The bulky volume of more than 500 pages is the initial 33 issues of the DC superhero and gives a nice helping of fun, action adventures versus an array of oftentimes Sci-Fi-inspired evil doers.

I bought this book because I was feeling nostalgic and I wanted to read something fun from the old days. The stories are definitely cheesy, but in a good way. It's a feel-good fun comic that's not to be taken seriously at all. My biggest disappointment with the book is that it is in BLACK and WHITE instead of color. I suppose considering the page count and cost I should have guessed that was the case. If you want a lot of comics on the cheap, then go ahead and slap the money down. However, if you're put off ...
