Captain Marvel Adventures #102

From Fawcett's November 1949 lineup, this 52-page issue delivers a wonderfully chaotic cover by C. C. Beck: Captain Marvel lunges forward, alarmed, as a scraggly, bearded fellow in a rumpled suit clutches a tome labeled "Black Magic" — and from its pages erupts a long-tongued, clawed supernatural creature coiling menacingly overhead. The corner box teases a Mr. Tawny story alongside the featured "Magic Mix-Up" adventure, making this a genuinely packed read for the dime. Beck's clean, expressive linework captures both the humor and the threat in perfect Golden Age balance.
