The Fawcett comic that introduced the original Captain Marvel (Shazam) to the world. Captain Marvel leads the members of the Captain Marvel Club on a mountain-climbing trip, but the mountain happens to be one where criminals are hiding out from Captain Marvel.

Prince Ibis and Taia follow scientist Jeremy when he decides to investigate the sinister whirlpool known as the Maelstrom. Plus a "Culture Corner" strip by legendary cartoonist Basil Wolverton, featuring useless but hilarious advice on "How to Chomp Food Without Being Rude."
