    Cover by Kurt Schaffenberger. Stories and art by Basil Wolverton, Otto Binder, Clem Weisbecker, and Kurt Schaffenberger. The Fawcett comic that introduced the original Captain Marvel (Shazam) to the world. Dr. Sivana's latest invention is "radar spectacles" that allow him to see, and torment, Captain Marvel from hundreds of miles away. Lance O'Casey tries to free Homer from an asylum where he's been unfairly committed, and almost winds up in a watery grave. An Egyptologist accidentally revives an evil pharaoh, and Ibis must put his spirit back where it belongs. Plus a "Culture Corner" strip by legendary cartoonist Basil Wolverton, featuring useless but hilarious advice on "How to Bow." And a vintage ad for The Captain Marvel Club, and a PSA for U.S. Savings Bonds featuring Captain Marvel. Captain Marvel Versus Sivana's Science; Happy Hal; Freshman Freddy: A Course in Salesmanship!; The Culture Corner; Golden Arrow: The Cattle Fraud; Wicky and O'Shawnessy; Lance O'Casey: The Plight of Homer Whittington, Jr.; Jim and Jam; Ibis the Invincible: Apollyon's Book; Happy Hal. 48 pages, Full Color.
