    Cover by Kurt Schaffenberger. Stories and art by Basil Wolverton, Clem Weisbecker, and Kurt Schaffenberger. The Fawcett comic that introduced the original Captain Marvel (Shazam) to the world. Inventor Ezra Steele creates a metal alloy so light, it can be used to build gigantic structures that are almost weightless - but he forgets to anchor them in case of strong wind. Lance O'Casey discovers that gangsters are using strong-arm tactics to get boxer Bellew to throw a fight, but the thing about boxers is, they can take a punch. Plus a "Culture Corner" strip by legendary cartoonist Basil Wolverton, featuring useless but hilarious advice on "How to Eat in a Theater Seat." And a vintage ad for The Captain Marvel Club. Captain Marvel: The Wonder Alloy; Wilbur the Waiter; Freshman Freddy: The Show Must Go On; The Culture Corner; Golden Arrow: The Bank Deal; Wicky and O'Shawnessy; Lance O'Casey: Frame Up; Spud and Jud; Colonel Corn and Korny Kobb; Ibis the Invincible: Death Song of the Sirens. 48 pages, Full Color. Cover price $0.10.
