Captain Marvel Adventures #68

A confident, grinning Captain Marvel dominates this December 1946 Fawcett cover by C. C. Beck, surrounded by a vivid collage of vignettes hinting at the stories within — a scheming bald villain at his controls, a red-suited figure in the background, a wild-haired caveman, a smiling young boy in a Whiz shirt, and even a wide-eyed green caterpillar. The cover promises "Scenes Out of the Past" alongside a special feature spotlighting Baltimore, Maryland as host to the World's Mightiest Mortal, making this a wonderfully varied package from one of 1946's best-selling superhero titles.
