Shazam Archives HC Vol 03

With one mighty word - "Shazam!" - young Billy Batson becomes the World's Mightiest Mortal! THE SHAZAM! ARCHIVES Volume Three is a 216-page hardcover continuing the early adventures of Captain Marvel - written by C.C. Beck and others, with art by Beck, George Tuska, Mac Raboy and Pete Costanza. The adventures of Captain Marvel really start hitting their stride in this volume, featuring an introduction by movie producer Michael Uslan and reprinting stories from AMERICA'S GREATEST COMICS #1, CAPTAIN MARVEL ADVENTURES #2 and 3, and WHIZ COMICS #21-24 (1941). With the release of the Captain Marvel movie serial, Fawcett Comics began to diversify its top super-hero with a Captain Marvel Club for its readers, merchandise and the comics introduction of characters from the serial. Volume Three finds the "Big Red Cheese" facing his most nefarious foe, Dr. Sivana, who shrinks poor Billy Batson and the lovely Beautia down to insect size, where they face a myriad of microscopic menaces! Sivana also returns in a second tale with a mysterious paralyzing gas to confound our hero, and, just for good measure, a third story as the brains behind a primitive foe that goes by the name of the Beast Ruler. But that's not all! This volume also contains the very first appearance of the Three Lieutenants Marvel and the comics introduction of Whitey Murphy (from the movie serial). Plus, Captain Marvel confronts the menace of a ship-scuttling saboteur, intrigue in a temple in Central America, spies at our nation's capital, ocean-going saboteurs, invading spider men from Mars, pirates, arsonists, and more! As a bonus, a 2-page text piece is included which was the first installment of a prose adaptation of the serial The Adventures of Captain Marvel.
