Captain Marvel Adventures #19

Jan 1943 · Fawcett · 0.10 USD
“The Phantom of the Department Store”

What a wonderfully festive Golden Age gem — the cover of Captain Marvel Adventures #19 shows Captain Marvel and Mary Marvel, the Shazam Girl, soaring through a wintry sky alongside a jolly, gift-sack-toting Santa Claus, all three streaking above a snow-covered countryside. It's pure holiday cheer, and a charming showcase of the all-ages spirit Fawcett brought to its Marvel Family titles.
