“Captain Marvel Gets the Heir!”

In "Captain Marvel Gets the Heir!", Billy Batson finds himself trapped once more, this time by Mr. Mind, who discovers his latest death ray only destroys metal—not flesh. With the crocodile man Sylvester poised to strike, Captain Marvel must act fast to save his young charge before the trap closes. Written by Otto Binder and illustrated with dynamic energy by C. C. Beck, this 1944 adventure features cover art by Beck himself, capturing the tension in bold, classic style.
