    Cover by C.C. Beck. Stories and art by Basil Wolverton, Bernie Krigstein, Otto Binder, Pete Costanza, Kurt Schaffenberger and Bill Woolfolk. The Fawcett comic that introduced the original Captain Marvel (Shazam) to the world. In a story with almost as much wacky detail as a Bill Elder panel, an eccentric scientist's "fight ray" causes the inhabitants of two skyscrapers to declare war on each other. The owner of a traveling carousel has a magic flute with Pied Piper-like powers, in a story with early art by EC legend Bernie Krigstein. Dead supervillain Karnok overpowers Charon, ferryman of the dead, and takes the wheel of the ferry on the Styx. Plus a "Culture Corner" strip by legendary cartoonist Basil Wolverton, featuring useless but hilarious advice on "How to Double Your Bubble Gum Bubble." Captain Marvel: The Battle of the Buildings!; Doc Sorebones; Wilbur the Waiter; The Culture Corner; Colonel Corn and Korny Kobb; Golden Arrow: The Magic Flute; Wicky and O'Shawnessy; Mawby the Medicine Man; Ibis the Invincible: The Land of Death! 32 pages, Full Color. Cover price $0.10.
