Captain Marvel Adventures #58

Captain Marvel Adventures #58 brings Fawcett's "World's Mightiest Mortal" face-to-face with his most devious nemesis in a cover by C. C. Beck that sets the scene with sharp wit and vibrant color. Beck depicts Captain Marvel confronting a smirking, bespectacled Sivana in what appears to be a cluttered laboratory, while a wide-eyed blonde woman looks on — Sivana insisting, with barely concealed glee, that they're simply building a "Peace Machine." The banner promises a special three-part novel — "Captain Marvel vs. Sivana" — complete in this single issue, written by Otto Binder with art by Beck, making this a satisfying standalone read from one of 1946's most popular comics.
