Captain Marvel Adventures #42

In "Captain Marvel in St. Paul, Minnesota," George Hammond’s futuristic camera gives Slick Fokus a dangerous edge—just as he plans a heist timed to exploit a moment when Captain Marvel and the city’s attention are elsewhere. With the power to glimpse tomorrow, Fokus sets his sights on a robbery that hinges on a single, fleeting distraction.

In "Captain Marvel In the World of If," Professor Putter’s mysterious machine reveals alternate futures—until his assistant is exposed as a Nazi spy desperate to learn what would happen if Captain Marvel sided with Hitler. Now, as the chilling vision begins to unfold, Captain Marvel must confront a reality where the impossible feels all too real.

In "The Monster Society of Evil Chapter 21: The Unholy Hydra!", Captain Marvel faces a terrifying new threat as Mr. Mind unleashes a relentless, self-renewing monster that regrows each severed head. With quick thinking, Marvel turns the creature’s endless regeneration against itself, finally capturing Mr. Mind—only for a mysterious masked stranger to appear and strike Billy Batson down.

When Billy meets the kind-hearted brothers Happy and Jolly Smith, who want to gift toys from their factory to the children at the Creedmore Orphanage, they’re met with cold resistance from their miserly older brother Gouge. With Christmas approaching and the orphans counting on a joyful holiday, it’s up to Captain Marvel to find a way to soften Gouge’s heart—before the season passes without a single toy.
