Product Description:
Possessing the wisdom of Solomon, the strength of Hercules, the stamina of Atlas, the power of Zeus, the courage of Achilles, and the speed of Mercury, Captain Marvel has been one of the most legendary heroes since his debut in the1940s. In SHAZAM! ARCHIVES VOL. 3 some of his classic tales from that era are beautifully reprinted in one hardcover edition. Included in these early adventures of the World's Mightiest Mortal are his battles with international spies, deadly arsonists, invading alien spider men, treacherous pirates, and his arch nemesis, the nefarious Dr. Sivana.

Archives" Vol. 1 are the apotheosis of vintage comics, as Marvel faces unlikely threats in impossible stories. However, from the beginning, Captain Marvel had one advantage: the art of C.C. Beck, which, although in its infancy ... Read More

It was a gift for my dad. It's not possible to get those comics here in Argentina. I just took a brief look at the books, they were a fancy edition, shinny paper, they looked really nice, although a bit smaller than I had imagined. But my dad called me the next day, said he felt like a kid again. He was very pleased.
Delivery time and form was excellent.
