Captain Marvel Adventures #132

From Fawcett's long-running series, this May 1952 issue pits "The World's Mightiest Mortal" against one of nature's most relentless forces. C. C. Beck's cover captures Captain Marvel in his red-and-gold costume straining against a burst of surging floodwaters atop a sandbag levee in driving rain, while two workers — one in a yellow rain hat, another in dark gear — scramble desperately nearby. With interior work by writer Otto Binder and artist Pete Costanza, "Captain Marvel Battles Flood" promises a story where sheer superpowered strength may not be enough to hold back the tide.
